Your eyes are incredible — they work day and night to help you see the world. Explore how they work, learn fun facts, pick up healthy habits, and test your eye smarts!
Your eye is like a tiny, super-smart camera. Each part has its own special job to help you see clearly.
The clear, curved window at the very front of your eye. It bends light so it can focus properly.
The coloured ring around your pupil — it's the part that gives your eyes their colour, like blue, brown or green.
The dark circle in the middle of your iris. It's actually a hole that lets light stream into your eye.
Sits just behind the iris and changes shape to focus light, whether you're looking near or far away.
A light-sensing layer lining the back of your eye. It turns light into signals your brain can understand.
A cable of nerves that carries the picture from your retina straight to your brain — in an instant!
You blink around 15–20 times every minute! Blinking washes and protects your eyes.
The picture that lands on the back of your eye is upside down — your brain flips it the right way!
Your eyes help your brain tell apart millions of different colours and shades.
Just like fingerprints, no two people have exactly the same pattern in their iris.
A small scratch on the clear cornea can often heal itself in about a day.
Your eyes started forming while you were still growing inside your mum, long before you were born.
Your eye is only about 2.5cm wide, but it sends your brain more information than almost any other sense.
Your two eyes work together to help you judge how far away things are.
Small habits make a big difference. Here's how to look after your eyes every day.
Every 20 minutes on a screen, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It gives busy eyes a rest.
Colourful fruits and veggies — like carrots, spinach and oranges — contain nutrients that support healthy eyes.
UV-protective sunglasses shield your eyes from strong sunlight, just like sunscreen protects your skin.
Rubbing your eyes can irritate them and spread germs — a gentle blink does a better job of clearing dust.
Long stretches of reading or screen time can tire your eyes. Short breaks help them stay comfortable.
Regular check-ups help catch changes early — even if your eyes feel perfectly fine.
