About This Work

At 2in (5cm) in diameter, measured front to back, from the center of the cornea to the retina, they are five times bigger than the human eye and bigger than that of any land animal. The ostrich needs large eyes for its terrestrial lifestyle since it shares the savanna with an alarming army of fearsome predators. The high number of photoreceptor cells in the eye, combined with the sheer size of the image from the lens, means the ostrich can see in phenomenal detail. Indeed it's eye is at the size limit of usefulness, any larger and destruction would begin to distort the image. P.S. The largest bird with the biggest eyes does NOT stick its head in the sand when danger appears. They run.
