What Organs Coordinate with the Eye?

Human eyes are among the tiniest organs in the body. They are, however, two of the most important organs for many people, because sight is the sense on which humans rely the most. While it is true that the human body is one big machine in which nothing acts independently of everything else, there are surprisingly few organs that work in direct concert with the eyes.

The macula is a component of the retina which is light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. AMD can cause vision loss rapidly or gradually, making it difficult to do tasks that need clear vision, such as reading, sewing, cooking, or driving.

What Is the Speed of an Eye Blink?

The average person blinks every 4 seconds, or about 15 times per minute, or more than 20,000 times per day, depending on how long they are awake. Each blink lasts about a tenth of a second, which isn't much. However, it is sufficient to clean and lubricate the eye's surface. Blinking shields the eyes from bright lights and irritants like propanethial S-oxide, the tear-inducing substance found in onions. Blinking, according to researchers, also provides the brain with a much-needed break. When people blink, areas of the brain associated with wakeful rest activate, according to the researchers. It turns out that...
