Author: Sarah Noland

Eyes are our bodies' unique cameras, our windows that transmit images of the world to us during our waking hours. But how do these two moist balls, adorned with a foreground circle of colors, master this amazing task of seeing? In a simple and entertaining way, The Eye tells you everything about how vision works. Through many scientific facts, you learn about the eye's many functions. In addition to sight, the eye is the body's clock and warning light. We also learn about the language the eyes speak to the brain, along with other topics about eye colors, how the eye captures light, how it reacts to colors, and those embarrassing moments when sight deceives us—what about crying? Author and ophthalmologist Sarah Nolad gives us some tips on understanding our eyes' signals, which will make it easier to care for them and choose the right glasses, contacts, or cosmetics for them, as well as some tricks that can help us teach our minds to see more clearly.
