👁️ EYEN is finally opening its first store at City Stars Mall

Okay, let’s get real—the human eye is a freakin’ masterpiece. It’s basically the OG camera, designed by nature way before we had smartphones. This little organ does some crazy stuff, like adjusting to different lights, focusing in real-time, and sending visual info to your brain at lightning speed. But have you ever stopped to think about what actually makes up your eye? Let’s break it down.
Your eye isn’t just one solid thing—it’s a whole team of parts working together to make sure you can binge-watch Netflix, scroll TikTok, and admire those fire sunsets. Here’s the squad:
Cornea – Think of this as the eye’s windshield. It’s the clear outer layer that bends light to help focus it on the retina. It also acts as a protective shield against dust, germs, and other harmful stuff trying to sneak in.
Iris – The colorful part of your eye that controls how much light gets in. (Also, the part we make look insane at EYEN—more on that later!) The muscles in your iris expand and contract depending on how much light is around you.
Pupil – That black hole in the middle? It expands and shrinks to adjust how much light enters your eye. Ever noticed your pupils getting bigger in the dark? That’s your eye hustling to let in more light so you can see better.
Lens – Works like a camera lens, changing shape to focus on objects at different distances. When you’re looking at something up close, your lens thickens to help focus better. When you look at something far away, it flattens out.
Retina – The retina is the screen where all the magic happens. It captures light and converts it into signals for your brain to process. It’s packed with millions of light-sensitive cells called rods and cones that help you see color and details.
Optic Nerve – The brain’s messenger. It takes all the info from the retina and sends it to your brain, so you actually “see” stuff. Without this nerve, your brain wouldn’t get the memo on what’s in front of you.
Your eyes blink about 15–20 times per minute – That’s over 28,000 times a day! Blinking helps keep your eyes moist and removes dust.
Your eyes can detect around 10 million different colors – Insane, right? Some people even have an extra color receptor that lets them see more shades than the average person.
Each iris is completely unique – Even identical twins don’t have the same iris pattern. That’s why iris photography is such a mind-blowing way to capture something personal.
Speaking of irises, did you know EYEN is the first iris photography provider in Egypt? Yup, we started this whole thing! And we didn’t stop there—we’re also the first to offer online iris photography, so you can get your eye art without leaving home. The best part? We finish any product in just 15 minutes—because who has time to wait?
So, wanna see your eye in a whole new way? Head over to EYEN and let’s make some eye candy (literally).
