Our Senses- Seeing

Our friend, Dr. Zhanna taught us about one of five senses- Seeing. It is called the sense of sight. Our eyes are like cameras that never stop taking pictures. Eyes quickly send these pictures to our brain. Brain sends us back information about what we see. Our eyes are shaped like round balls. We can only see the front of them. The backs of our eyes are safe inside of our head. When we look at our eyes in a mirror, we can see black circles in the middle of our eye that is pupil. It lets light into our eye. The colored part around the pupil is the iris. We noticed that most friends have brown iris, other friends have blue, green or grey iris. Our eyes let us see things far, far away, to see pretty colors, and to see important signs like "Stop" sign.
Dr. Zhanna taught us that there are three things that protect our eyes- skull, eyebrows, and eyelids. A skull protects the back of our eyes, eyebrows don't let sweat get into eyes, eyelashes protect our eyes from dust. We can do more protecting our eyes. For example, don't look straight on the sunlight or any other light; wear sunglasses.
