What is the relation between eye and brain?

The eye and brain are closely connected through the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the eye to the brain for processing. The brain interprets this information to form images, allowing us to see and understand the world around us. The eye and brain work together to create our sense of vision.


Why do we have blind spots in our vision if we all have them?

Blind spots in our vision occur because of a small area on the retina where there are no light-sensitive cells. This area is where the optic nerve exits the eye, so it cannot detect light. Everyone has blind spots, but our brains fill in the missing information so we don't usually notice them.


Why do we have blind spots in our vision if there isn't a hole in our overall visual perception?

Blind spots in our vision occur because of a lack of light-detecting cells in a specific area of the retina where the optic nerve is located. This creates a small area where we cannot see clearly, even though our brain fills in the missing information to create a seamless visual perception.


Does the sun make you sneeze?

Sunlight SneezingI read/heard once that this was caused by the optic nerve being in close proximity to the trigiminifacial (sp?) nerve. The activity on the optic nerve when going from relative dark to light somehow 'spills over' and activates the trigiminifacial (sp?) nerve to cause sneezing. This is also commonly known as "Photic Sneezing" some people have "photic sneeze disorder" which can be quite problomatic in some cases.

If optic nerve is severed will you lose sight in both eyes?

Yes, if the optic nerve is severed, you will lose sight in the eye connected to that nerve. This means that you will lose sight in one eye if only one optic nerve is severed, but vision in the other eye will remain unaffected.
