FAQs

What triggers the sense of sight?

Sight begins when light coming from objects triggers the sense of sight.

Do the eyes work automatically when you look at something?

Yes. The eyes are constantly moving and taking pictures of the world around you, without you needing to think about it.

Why does seeing require more than just looking?

Seeing completes a long list of steps inside the eye, so vision is a process that depends on multiple actions working together.
