sight is never affect ed by the light out side, and is never harmed.
Melanin rais es the qual i ty of your vision by reduc ing the admis sion of
blue light and daz zling rays. However, since blue light is not elim i nat -

In con clu sion, many fac tors affect ing vision, from the pro tec tion of
the eye to color qual i ty, depend on the activ i ties of the mel a nin mol e -
cule. The way that this mol e cule seem ing ly knows just how to pro tect
the eye and the skin is the work of Allah's immac u late cre a tion. Above
all else, the mol e cule must first know that the eye is an organ used for
per ceiv ing light and must esti mate the ret i na's sen si tiv i ty to. Then it
must become aware of its own pro tec tive nature and locate itself where
it may pro tect this sen si tive organ. Of course, this all requires con scious -
ness. People who under stand the Source of this con scious ness will real -

right loca tion in the eye and at just the prop er quan ti ty def i nite ly shows

is too flaw less to leave room for the slight est doubt. It is easy to see this
immac u late cre a tion at every point of the uni verse. Yet it takes rea son to
under stand this and direct thank ful appre ci a tion to the Lord. Believers
who view the mag nif i cent cre a tion around them and give thanks to
Allah are described in these terms in the Qur'an:
In the cre a tion of the heav ens and the Earth, and the alter na tion of
night and day, there are Signs for peo ple with intel li gence: Those
who remem ber Allah, stand ing, sit ting and lying on their sides, and
reflect on the cre a tion of the heav ens and the Earth: "Our Lord, You
have not cre at ed this for noth ing. Glory be to You! So safe guard us
from the pun ish ment of the Fire." (Surah Al ‘Imran: 190-191)

We have intro duced all these color-gen er at ing mol e cu les and their
