    ***********

    ***********

    5.Eyes contribute towards 85% of your total knowledge.


    ***********

    6.Eyes utilize 65% of all the pathways to the brain.


    ***********

    7.Eyes can instantaneously set in motion hundreds of muscles and organs in your body.


    ***********

    ***********

    ***********

    10.The adult eyeball measures about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Of its total surface area only one-sixth is exposed -- the front portion.

Your eyelids need rest, the external muscles of your eyes need rest, the lubrication of your eyes requires replenishment, but your eyes themselves "never" need rest. But please rest them!
