Thread: Your eyes!

What colour are they? Light blue
What colour would you like them to be? Gray (they are already kinda close, but I don't want a lot of color.)
How well can you see? I had my glasses updated a few weeks ago, and they had 20/50 20/60 WITH the glasses. Not sure how bad they are without.
Do you wear coloured lenses? No. (unless a slight green tinge to glass counts)
Any interesting conditions regarding your eyes? Astigmatism (made checking for a concussion difficult. Cart-wheels to the head are not comfortable.)
How do you like them? I don't like them now, but at least I can still see. I just finished growing, so my eyes might catch up to my perportions. (sp)

What colour are they? Green/Teal.
What colour would you like them to be? Green
How well can you see? I wear strong glasses. They are crap.
Do you wear coloured lenses? No.
Any interesting conditions regarding your eyes? They suck at seeing.
How do you like them? Lousy. Could be better.
What's in an eye? Humour
Any significance to you? No.
Do you notice the eyes of friends...and is there any meaning that you can find in eyes? People do look in certain directions when thinking certain things. Also, I find meaning in the muscle controlling the eyes when they think certain things. People tend to squint a lot.

Yes. I first noticed this after taking stuff that made my eyes really really dilated.

The Purkinje tree is an image of the retinal blood vessels in one's own eye. It can be seen by shining the beam of a small bright light penlight through the pupil from the periphery of a subject's vision. This results in an image of the light being focused on the periphery of the retina. Light from this spot then casts shadows of the blood vessels (which lie on top of the retina) onto unadapted portions of the retina. Normally the image of the retinal blood vessels is invisible because of adaptation. Unless the light moves, the image disappears within a second or so. If the light is moved at about 1 Hz, adaptation is defeated, and a clear image can be seen indefinitely. The vascular figure is often seen by patients during an ophthalmic examination when the doctor is using an ophthalmoscope. Another way in which the shadows of blood vessels may be seen is by holding a bright light against the eye lid at the corner of the eye. The light penetrates the eye and casts a shadow on the blood vessesl as described previously. The light must be jiggled to defeat adaptation. Viewing in both cases is improved in a dark room while looking at a featureless background. This topic is discussed in more detail by Helmholtz.

What pissed me off was that after experiencing this, I once tried explaining it to the doctor who was giving me an eye exam and she just looked at me like I had three heads. Luckily, I knew I wasn't crazy or hallucinating and decided to google it once I got home.

(also I think it is more common during eye exams because they dilate your eyes and shine lights into them )

I can see veiny structures in a really bright room or light sometimes, even sometimes when I squint I think I can see the cells in my eyes, unless its just water or debris I'm seeing.

I didn't know it was uncommon. I can too. I just never bothered to ask anybody! If I sine a flashlight in my open eye, or even my closed eye, I can see the veins and stuff too.

I think the reason why is because:
The intense light hits the back of your eye
The light reflects off your retina
Then reflects a second time off the inside of your lens/cornea back to your retina

So what you're seeing essentially is a 'double reflection' image.

Diagram Time!!

Light>>>>>>>>Retina
Image of Retina(IOR)>>>>>Cornea
Reflected IOR>>>>>retina

And voila! That's what you see... I think. I actually have no Idea, but that just makes sense to me. I may be completely wrong.

lol I love making posts that people don't bother to read

I read it......

I would've said sorry for overlooking your response if your attitude weren't so terrible. This is the internet anyways, what do you care who does or doesn't read your stuff? Lighten up, don't be so dramatic.

edit:
.............LOL

edit2: If you'd said "Mindwanderer, I already adressed that in a previous post..." it'd have been fine... but nooo...

What colour are they? Bright green with small brown flecks. Leaning towards hazel but not quite.
What colour would you like them to be? I'm perfectly happy with them actually
How well can you see? Something around 20/10 B)
Do you wear coloured lenses? Nope.
Any interesting conditions regarding your eyes? Uhh, I can see really well. I get pink eye a lot.
How do you like them? Wouldn't trade them for any other eyes. Except maybe Shinigami eyes.

Though I find it hard to believe, it isn't impossible...

Tiger woods is considered to have AMAZING eyesight and he only has 20/15. So for you to have "around" 20/10 would be crazy. And I'm assuming you guaged that yourself... seeing as a doctor wouldn't say 'around' 20/10 but would give you an exact number.

Nonetheless, it doesn't really matter. If you indeed have 20/10 then you should get into some profession needing great sight... considering you can see twice as far as 99% of the people out there. It'd be a waste not to utilize it fully.

This kind of thing makes me happy. ^^

So true. :}

Made me smile just thinking about it.

It's funny how such a simple act seems to make people nervous sometimes though, as if it's an unusual occurance for them.

We're human; we're supposed to interact.

Most can't? When I mentioned it to the doctor she just said "that's normal". So ever since I believed everyone saw it.

Actually I lie, once when I was even younger I was with my mum at the doctor's office and when I mentioned I could see veins the doctor said "no you can't". I just remembered that just now. o.O But I didn't think anything of it I just assumed she had misheard me or I had misheard her.
