There’s an old saying that “the eyes are the windows to the soul.” And here’s another old saying: “Seeing is Believing.” Are both of those sayings true? Well, the first one may or may not be. What human being can say what the eyes can tell you about the soul? However, seeing isn’t always believing, and over and over again, we see optical illusions that prove this is true. The eyes have baffled scientists since the beginning of time (or at least the beginning of scientists). Specialists have a good idea and a basic understanding of how they work mechanically, but the fact is, their connection to the human brain is what’s puzzling.
Eyes and vision are something that scientists and doctors can understand, but there are too many complex issues at play when it comes to how our brains interact with our eyes. Because of this, scientists continue to study our eyes extensively and it seems that the more we know about them, the more we appreciate exactly what goes on in our brains when it comes to how they work so closely with our eyes. Below, you can take an eye test that will give you a good idea of how well you see.
