Amazing Eye Facts

Amazing Eye Fact #1:

If the human eye were a camera, its resolution would be 576 megapixels, compared to 12 megapixels with an iPhone 11's camera.
Your eyes are incredibly sophisticated; make sure you're taking at least as good care of your eyes as you are of your phone!

Amazing Eye Fact #2:

In the brain, neurons devoted to visual processing take up about 30% of cortex, as compared with 8% for touch and just 3% for hearing.

Our brains devote a disproportionate amount of resources to the information coming in from the eyes!
Make sure your brain is getting good information from healthy eyes that are seeing clearly.

Amazing Eye Fact #3:

Like our fingerprints, the iris (the colored part of the eye) is unique to every person. Our irises have over 250 unique characteristics, compared to fingerprints, which only have about 40. This means that an iris scan for biometric systems is much more secure than a fingerprint scan.

Your colorblind cousin isn't exactly seeing everything in black and white, and they're hardly alone! Color Vision testing is an important part of every pediatric eye exam at Ardsley Eye Care.

Amazing Eye Fact #5:

We blink an average of 4.2 million times every year, or 11,500 times per day. Please don't try counting your own daily blinks at home; it's not worth it!
