Photostatin

Okay, so imagine a camera. When you take a picture, light goes through the lens and hits a special material called film, right? Well, in your eyes, you have a special part called the retina. Just like film in a camera, the retina takes in the light that goes through the lens in your eye and turns it into pictures that your brain can understand.

Now, sometimes you might look at something really bright, like the sun, and it’s too much for your eyes to handle. That’s where photostatin comes in. Photostatin is like a tiny superhero that helps protect your eyes from getting hurt by really bright light.

In the cells of your retina, there are little channels that let special molecules, like photostatin, through. When there’s too much bright light, photostatin molecules jump into these channels and block the other light molecules from getting through. This helps protect your eyes from getting damaged.

Think of it like a shield that protects your eyes from getting hurt by really bright light!
