Eye is the organ of vision and light perception. In humans the eye is of the camera type, with an iris diaphragm and variable focusing, or accommodation. Other types of eye are the simple eye, found in many invertebrates, and the compound eye, found in insects and many other arthropods. In an alternate pathway to the one that transmits visual images, the eye perceives sunlight. This information stimulates the hypothalamus, which passes the information on to the pineal gland. The pineal gland then regulates its production of the sleep-inducing chemical, melatonin, essentially setting the body's circadian clock (see biorhythm).

Eyes are important sense organs. Rapid industrialization, use of computers for communication and education has increased visual requirements especially of the children and working adults. In such circumstances, proper care for eyes is very important. It would not only improve the quality of life but also reduce the visually handicap.
