The tiny little details, the mixing of colors, *irises* (I previously said "cornea" because I'm ignorant and uneducated....and tired  ) are pretty much awesome. I dunno, maybe I'm weird, maybe it's my history of coming close to losing them, but I really can't think of many things more fascinating and naturally beautiful than the human eye.In any case, here are my eyes-   What do you got Arfcom? Also, on a related note, do you have any idea how hard it is to take pictures of your eye with a cellphone? |

Not too bad  Mine's only clear cause I took 20+ pictures until I got it just right |

The only thing that I have to offer here that might be of any interest is that when I originally had my contacts fitted, I had the great good fortune of being assigned a doctor who I later discovered is a respected eye surgeon and world-famous expert on corneal diseases. Many years later, when I reconnected with a long-lost friend, he told me that he had to have one of his corneas replaced - and he can now see far better from that eye than I can from either of mine uncorrected. (My vision is correctable to 20/20.) Guess who his surgeon was... |

Quoted: Two cornea transplants for me. Interesting and important part of the human body, but if you injure them it is the suck big time. They can scar pretty bad, if I wasn't so tired I would post pics of mine.....they look like a Jackson Pollock. I got ridiculously lucky with my right eye a few years ago. My younger brother accidentally jabbed a pool cue in it by exaggerating a shot, the tip of it hit my eye and then went up under my eyelid tearing it a bit. Like the picture shows, nothing too crazy happened, it abraded the edge of the iris a bit and there's a tiny scar now according to my optometrist. Other than having my eye look like the 3 ball for a while, the astigmatism and a prescription that's constantly changing, I got off scot-free |

They creep me out close up.
They look like...corrosion, or fungus. |

That's cool as hell I always just liked the colors and mixes and such, I never fully appreciated the structure until seeing that though, just damn  .  It looks like something from Alien almost |

I work outside, I'm no supermodel, a little wind induced redness won't kill me Quoted: We had a thread similar to this one a few months ago. Here's a pic I took for the other thread- http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff498/TTolip/eye.jpg I thought I remembered something like that a while back, I couldn't remember where I saw it though. But damn, dude, that's an impressive shot, I really need to upgrade from the cellphone one of these days |
