Question

Even in the dark,why do we see more clearly with our eyes open than closed?It shouldn't matter,should it?

Answer 1

no idea

Answer 2

it does matter because when you leave your eyes open..it allows the receptor cells to recieve information..

the two most common are rodes and cones...and the rod receptors allow us to see at night:

Rod cells, or rods, are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in less intense light than can the other type of photoreceptor, cone cells. Since they are more light-sensitive, rods are responsible for night vision. Named for their cylindrical shape, rods are concentrated at the outer edges of the retina and are used in peripheral vision. There are about 120 million rod cells in the human retina.

Answer 3

No, seeing in the dark with your eyes closed should reveal MORE, because if you can't see with them OPEN, then you have to reverse your retinas... It's called logic.

I know, because when I open my eyes in the bathroom, it's kinda dim in there with just the window open, so I can only see halfway... but when I turn the light on, I can't see, because it blinds me. See, it's called the Reverse Retina Effect. You have to see whether or not you can see in certain conditions, and if you can't, you have to reverse your retinas. You should learn logic to understand this, because it is so powerful.

Btw, I still can't see in the dark though, I think it's because the light is off.

Answer 4

Of course it matters. Regardless of the fact that you are in the dark, with your eyes open, anything within your line of sight (given the proper conditions) can still be seen. With your eyes closed, the only thing within your line of sight are your eyelids.
