Did you know that about forty percent or more of the human brain is thought to involve vision? The brain controls the vision system and without it, seeing is impossible. Even though the eyes are the only tool the body has for seeing the world, vision is not always accurate considering how the brain interprets perception. .Eye optics are more complicated than most people assume. It is important to understand eye optics because detecting and fixing eye problems in an individual is life-changing.

For about one-thirtieth of a second, the retina and brain retain that image, even when one stops looking at it. While a single image is being processed, another slightly different image appears. The brain combines images in motion, appearing as if moving as one item. Museum of Vision says, “Movies are made up of a series of separate pictures, flashed on the screen at a speed of twenty-four per second.” This is the way the brain understands and can see movement in the real-world.
The average person sees optical illusions more than in “stars” and movies. It’s that moment you just can’t believe your eyes. No matter what you do, you cannot focus on the whole part of the image. The eyes have blind spots or “the part that is not accessible through your limited porthole,” defines Jim Cathcart.
