    This article made me wonder about the really big and important job our eyes play in everyday life. This article talks about how our eyes adjust to its sourrounding enviornment and how it doesnt focus on all the commotion in the background but on what we think is important. One of the examples that I found interesting was the one where you are walking through a dark hall in a few minutes your eyes will adjust so that you can make out shapes within that dark room. I thought this was really interesting because this feature our eyes have is really important and allows us to do certain things.
