Eyes typically refer to the organs of vision in humans and animals, which allow for sight and perception of the surrounding world. Eyes are complex structures that capture light and convert it into electrical signals that are then transmitted to the brain for processing, resulting in visual perception. Eyes are located in the orbits (eye sockets) of the skull and are responsible for a significant portion of sensory input and information processing in many organisms, including humans. In addition to their biological function, eyes can also hold symbolic and cultural significance, representing various concepts such as perception, awareness, insight, and emotion in different societies and cultures around the world. The phrase “eyes” can also be used metaphorically to refer to attention, scrutiny, or observation, as in phrases like “eyes wide open,” “in the public eye,” or “keeping an eye on something.”
