‘Blink and am gone!’
The eye has one of the fastest muscles in the body and it displays this anytime we blink. A single blinklasts 100 to 150 milliseconds and we can achieve five blinks per second.

The best eyes don’t have 20/20 vision
The standard eye test would reveal that the popular 20/20 vision is a line. Below this line is another thinner line, people who can see this have 20/16 vision. The 20/8 vision is so far the best recorded human vision. Such an individual can see at 20feet what you can only see at 8 feet. Ouch!
Eyes water when dry
Eyes become dry when the right quantity and composition of mucus, fat and water aren’t available. Your brain makes up for this by initiating the secretion of more tears…and the tears keep coming….
