Eyes, what an interesting thing. While yes, our program EYES is very interesting, I am talking about the body part. The eyes that are in our head, help us see, and are helping us read this right now!

Have you ever stopped to wonder how do our eyes work? How do we see crisp and clear images, filter light, and comprehend what we are saying by working with our brain? Eyes are very neat and this episode will answer all those questions and more!

When you step outside into the sun or see the brightness reflecting from the snow, we need to learn how to protect our eyes from damage. The activities in our lab manual will teach us why accessories like sunglasses are so important!
