Eyes were thought to have developed about 550 million years ago as photoreceptors on primitive single-celled creatures. Your eyes began to develop about two weeks after conception
One human eye contains about 2 million individual working components. About a million nerve fibres connect each eye to the brain and cannot be artificially reconstructed with our current technology
The human eye can distinguish about 10 million different colours. Some women have a genetic mutation that may allow them to distinguish several million more
