It's all to do with how light works. When we are on land, light will be travelling in a straight line, and the light photons will beam straight into our eye. We can focus this light and see properly. However, if beams of light will hit another object (discluding gases, or everything would be blurry) it will be refracted (or bent, but scientists say refract because it sounds more scientific). So, when we are in water, the beams of light will refract as it hits the water, so the beams of light will not directly hit our eye, and objects underwater will therefore appear blurry.

Things in water appear blurry because the light passing through water refracts, or bends, due to the change in density between water and air. This refraction causes the light rays to scatter, resulting in the blurry or distorted appearance of objects when viewed underwater.

What if the lachrymal did not work?

If the lacrimal system did not work, the eyes would not be able to produce tears to keep the eyes moist and remove debris. This can lead to dry eyes, discomfort, blurry vision, and an increased risk of eye infections. Treatment options may include artificial tears, medications, or surgical intervention to address the underlying issue.


What are mirrors that give blurry image?
