Understanding Eye Anatomy and Function

Can you distinguish up to ten million colors?

Let's go, Nour, and enter the window of the soul,

your eye. Don't fall, Nour, because this is the cornea, completely transparent.

See how it looks like an iceberg?

God created it for you this way so that as soon as light falls on it,

it refracts and focuses.

Now come with me and look what's behind it. This is the magical lens.

This lens is flexible and has tiny muscles that pull and relax it, why?

So that you can see near and far at the same moment and with complete clarity.

Up until now,

no camera in the world has been able to mimic the speed or accuracy of your eyes.

Contemplate with me and live in this beauty around you.

A dazzling film, this is indeed

the film recorded for your eye. Just like the film that is recorded in a camera.

Do you see these millions of lit candles?

a large part of which is called the rods.

This is what enables you to see in the dark or in very dim light.

As for these beautiful colored cells, they are called the cones.

These are what make you see red, green, and blue.

And the blending that happens between them is what actually gives you a

different color.

Unfortunately, someone with color blindness has a defect in the number or quality of

cone cells that distinguish red, green, and their blend.

Each of these cells sends an electrical impulse to the brain to let you

distinguish a specific color.

If just one cell fails, part of the image could disappear. Utmost precision!

All the shapes you see upright don't actually reach your eye upright.

As you can see, they land on the retina upside down.

The optic nerve takes

these electrical impulses and quickly delivers them to the brain.

Then, the brain adjusts the image and interprets it so you can understand it.

This means your eye is nothing but a transmitter.

Image adjustment and actual distinction happen in the brain.

What can we say other than" Glory be to God"?

Your eyes, my friend, are a truly great blessing.

Protect them, keep them hydrated,

and eat nourishing food— which is most important.

Watch my videos or book a consultation with me. That's all for Habet Noor today.

Tomorrow's episode is at the same time. Goodbye, good people!
