The eye
The eye is one of our most important sensory organs and is a vital extension of the human brain. They are responsible for four fifths of all information that our brain receives, which is why we rely on our eyesight more than any other sense. The eye is vulnerable to injury, bacteria and virus like no other organ in our body. Accidents involving the eyes can lead to potentially sight threatening consequences that have a lasting effect upon those injured.
