Don't you dare bang that head of yours. Concentrate on taking wonderful photos.... as for the dog's nose, is it cold and damp all the time? ;) Magpie - Great links there, even if they sent you for moderation. Geri - As a child I was told I would go colour blind because I didn't eat butter. It was years later that I discovered it only happened to the males of this world. Magpie - Perhaps that is why I don't know if I am on my head or my heels most days! JD - Hi! *waves* How are you. Don’t you dare bang that head of yours.

That begs the question as to how the earliest seeing beings knew which was up or down or top or bottom or left or right. Perhaps we have it all wrong anyway There are a variety of types of colour blindness.... it is almost exclusively male.

Oh dear, that is a lot. 'What I want to know is :How do they know what a baby sees?' Good point Magpie11! 1 in 12 males colourblind? Oh dear, that is a lot.

‘What I want to know is :How do they know what a baby sees?’
Good point Magpie11!

The optic nerve(s) fascinates me. Any damage to it, and yer blind. Both of my eyes are in descent visual condition, but because the the left optic nerve never grew to the back of the retina, I've been legally blind in my left eye since I was knee high to a grass hopper. I often wonder if it's just dangling around inside my head like a loose spark plug wire. If I knock me self in the head hard enough, do you reckon it'll attach itself? :) Serious, being blind in one eye has given me a great appreciation for the things that others may overlook. And, I have a nose like a dog! :) (JD covertly sneaks back into the shadows of the blogosphere) Our eyes are remarkable. The optic nerve(s) fascinates me. Any damage to it, and yer blind.

Magpie - How did you know about the fish? I have no idea about what a baby sees. I have yet to find one that can talk to tell me. Baino - We can donate organs via our driving licence forms. It makes the whole process very easy. Maynard - It has to see where it is putting its head!

And a word of advice, don't forget that your corneas can be transplanted so get on the transplant register and give the gift of sight!

My optician told me recently that the eyes are in fact part of the brain...makes sense and explains why my brain is prone to ...what is the word I want? Forgetfulness. The eyes of a plaice start on opposite sides of the body and one migrates to the side that ends up on top of the flatfish! What I want to know is :How do they know what a baby sees?
