EYE FACTS

By September 15, 2021General
  • Eyes are the most complex organs except for the brain.
  • Eyes are composed of more than two million working parts.
  • Eyes can process 36,000 pieces of information every hour.
  • Eyes contribute towards eighty-five percent of your total knowledge.
  • Eyes utilise sixty-five percent of pathways to your brain.
  • In a normal lifespan, eyes will bring you almost twenty four million images of the world around you.
  • The eye is the only part of the human body able to function at one hundred percent ability at any time of the day or night, without rest. Your eyelids and the external muscles of you eyes need rest, the lubrication of your eyes requires replenishment but the eyes themselves never need rest.
  • The iris is estimated to contain over 28,000 individual nerve fibres. Medical science has, so far,found no function for these fibres that seem to end blindly in the stroma.
  • The muscles of the iris are the only muscles in the body derived from neuroectoderm. This is the same tissue found in the brain and spinal cord. This similarity is postulated to reflect genetic inheritance.

These are just some facts, there are many more amazing facts and information about our eyes, and learning through Toni Miller has been a most enjoyable journey learning Iridology.
