From Jude's Wall (Part 2)


• Eyes are the second most complex organ after the brain.

•  Your eyes start to develop two weeks after you are conceived.

• A fingerprint has 40 unique characteristics, but an iris has 256; a reason retina scans are increasingly being used for security purposes.

• To protect our eyes, they are positioned in a hollowed eye socket, while eyebrows prevent sweat dripping into your eyes and eyelashes keep dirt out of your eyes.

• Your eyeballs stay the same size from birth to death, while your nose and ears continue to grow.

• An eye is composed of more than 2 million working parts.

• Only 1/6 of the human eyeball is exposed.

• Corneas are the only tissues that don’t have blood.

• People who are blind can see their dreams if they weren’t born blind.

• An eye cannot be transplanted. More than 1 million nerve fibers connect each eye to the brain and currently we’re not able to reconstruct those connections.
