I had a scratch in my eye this morning. It hurt like hell. Obviously got something in there that scratched the lens. It irritated me for hours, but now, 10 hours later, all gone, no pain,all healed.
Yet any type of scrath on my body can take 2 or 3 days to heal properly. Why are eyes so good at repair?
In: Biology
Your eyes, nose, mouth, skin all have faster replicating skin or specialized cells because they are on the outside of the body.
In order to protect those vital parts of our body, we are able to re-generate the protective layers faster.
