The eyes become the conductors of sight, the correlating medium for balance, the warning system of impending danger, a reference system via the associating cortex, an anticipatory system via the pre-motor cortex, the system that triggers pictures of words and ideas and creativity.


This is a system that can digitise, pixelate and file... and when least expected, deliver a perspective that can change one's mind, change one’s life, change the direction of a countries thinking, and the world's understanding.
The eye formulates a memory of experience that is filed for our enjoyment. We enjoy life because of what we SEE.  Yes I know blind folks enjoy life as well, but they also ask people with sight to explain to them what they SEE. Some memories are abhorrent and are culled through the discernment of our amygdala.                                      

I feel eyes are the single most important means of communicating.  When I see the eyes of kids light up when they SEE a new toy, or maybe a friend, or a new puppy, it is so powerful.

There are many facets that can alter the functionality of the eyes.  The common issues of myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, and glaucoma can all take their toll to distract our potential to see.

Three years ago I was interested to investigate if the brain could alter the refractive powers of the lenses of our eyes.  The changes have been significant, especially with children.
