The visual sense is the most essential human sensory organ system for perceiving our surroundings. The visual system comprises the eye with cornea, iris, pupil, lens, vitreous body, retina, optic nerve, and substantial portions of the brain. It continually manages an immense flow of information and analyses, filters, sorts, and evaluates. The eye creates an image on the retina, which is then transmitted to the brain.
Seeing is a matter of course – until it becomes impaired. Only when someone is affected completely, they become fully aware of the enormous importance of the visual sense. A pervasive example of a disease of the eye are cataracts, which lead to blindness. In most cases, it is a normal symptom of old age and can be treated very effectively through surgery.
