Sense of Sight

          We see with our eyes. Sight, often known as

          vision, is the ability of the eyes to focus and

          recognise  images of different  colours and

          brightness.                                                                         Eyes

          Eyes alert us to harmful situations, such as a speeding car coming towards

          us. Our eyes provide information to our brain, which then directs our body.
          Our body acts accordingly and we move away from danger.
