Evolution of Eyes

When you rub your eyes too hard, you may see flashing lights and colors due to a phenomenon called pressure phosphenes. Rubbing your eyes generates mechanical pressure, which stimulates the retina—the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. This pressure can trigger the activation of retinal cells, causing them to fire and send signals to the brain. The brain interprets these signals as flashes of light and random colors, resulting in the visual sensations experienced when rubbing your eye

An eye stye, also known as a hordeolum, is a common eye condition characterized by a painful, red lump that forms on the edge of the eyelid. Styes are typically caused by an infection of the oil glands in the eyelids, and they can be triggered by factors such as stress, poor hygiene, or rubbing the eyes. Symptoms of a stye may include swelling, tenderness, and discomfort or pain in the affected area. 🎥 via TT/ icedcoffee.isbetter #stye #eyeinfection #pinkeye #conjunctivitis #optometry #ophthalm
