A famous maxillofacial surgeon once said to me, "You have really nice eyes."
Whether it is true or not, I dont claim to know :P But I remember that compliment because I think, with all the mask-wearing, its very good for surgeons to have nice eyes.

And if mask-wearing becomes a future fashion-trend, what with all the flu-bugs, then its gonna be very good for anyone who has nice eyes =)


I went for some eye-checkups recently. here are 3 interesting things I found out about my eyes:
1. I have a very thin cornea - around 400µm. Average cornea thickness is around 550µm.
2. I have a larger-than-normal pupil size.
3. I have a retina that is more commonly seen in Caucasian people with fair-hair/lighter eye-color (read: blondes)
