More About sight

Our eyes have a lens that helps us see. The lens bends light so we can see clear. When we look at things, our brain makes a picture. This helps us know what we see. It is fun to see new things!

We use sight every day. We see the sky, trees, and our pets. Sight helps us stay safe, too. We can see cars and bikes when we play outside.

Some people wear glasses to help them see better. Glasses help fix how light goes into the eyes. In the future, we may have new ways to help people see!
