The eye is the sensory organ par excellance, it allows human beings and other living beings to communicate with external world: to see, as we have observed throughout history, has had a fundamental importance due to the surviving sense that throughout centuries allowed human being's evolution and his handing on what he had done for future generations, with the aim to preserve and provide that sense of continuity of species that is the basis of life's sense on this planet.
Maybe, for these reasons also, due to the deep anatomical- physiological relationship between eye - mind and brain, the sight organ has always been so fascinating, not only from a medical- scietifical point of view, but also keeping a mystical and misterious aurea.

Evolution goes fast, to get adapted to modern times has become an hard and stimulating matter .
