Vision is one of our five senses – which together make up how we experience the physical world around us. The anatomy and function of the eyes is nothing short of amazing, complex neural networks take in the messages from the eyes and then translate them into images in the brain. Taking care of our eyesight as we get older enables us to continue enjoying the wonders of the world around us.
