Indeed, eyes are used as a metaphor for that because it is one of the most valuable organs in the human body. This organ that brings vision to man is specially shaped for that purpose. The eye, which is very delicately constructed to enter the light beam from an external object through the eye lens, focus its reflection on the retina and send a clear image with colours to the brain, is truly a miracle of nature. In this way the eye gets sight. It will become more clear to you by watching the video below.πŸ‘‡ Look at this video... πŸ‘€https://pin.it/5hj3IRImE                                                                                ...
