"The eyes err less than reason." Leonardo da Vinci.
Something that sounds very logical considering that we perceive 70% from the world with our eyes only. It is perhaps our most important organ. So small, yet so significant.
The eyes use 65% of our brain's capacity.
This explains our irrelevant actions, not that we can't think, but our brain is just busy.
It is interesting to know that according to a new study published in JAMA OphthalmologyLeonardo da Vinci, in fact, had a problem with one eye that helped him see images in a completely different way. Christopher Tyler, an ophthalmologist at City University London, believes that Leonardo da Vinci most likely had strabismus, or in other words strabismus (this is a binocular vision disorder in which there is a deviation of one or both eyes from the visual axis. This means that the eyes do not work at the same time and each sees a different picture instead of a single image as is normal.) It is said that this disorder helped da Vinci in his work as it was related to stereo-vision (perceiving a three-dimensional image). People with such a disease perceive the space around them differently from others, which is quite convenient for rendering a 3D object on a 2D platform. Also strabismus is more common among artists than among the rest of the population.
Leonardo da Vinci foresaw many of the great scientific discoveries long before their time. Part of his characteristic approach was to see more. He observed things using all his senses. In this way he appreciated details and judged his objects to perfection. For him, sight was a means of bringing knowledge to life. He believed that the five senses were connected at one point, which was behind the eye.
Sight is a higher sense that gives more fullness and meaning to images, through which it reveals context and adds perspective. It is its reverence for the ability to see more that sets it apart from all others, which is why we of the sighted world believe that the eyes see everything.
The Mayans, on the other hand, thought that the crooked-eyed were attractive and tried to make their children so.
Learning these facts, I'm beginning to think the world is a timeless place. Flaws turn out to be our strongest points, so it's nice when we can accept ourselves as we are. We shouldn't limit ourselves in our development despite the facts, but we can't break the shackles of the familiar when we don't actually know the basics. This is the reason why we constantly expose here complex materials about eyes, glasses, glasses, foods good for eyes, or anything that is part of the spectacled world we live in.
