Thanks everyone
What i was thinking of is on p.45 of the PhRing book & in other books i have.
Basically it has to do w/ the retina which has rods and cones. The cones are used for hard focus and the conscious mind. Each cone is connected to the brain.
Then there are the rods. These are used for peripheral knowledge. There are several 100 rods connected to one nerve. In photo focus, it is the rods we are using. Since there are several hundred of them attached to each rod, more info is then connected or inputed to the brain.
The cones are something like perceptual defenses in that they filter info. The rods do not filter the info & therefore more, much more info is then connected to the brain.
So our retinas are connected to the brain by its rods & cones. Thing is i forget if there are several hundred rods connected to each nerve or if there are several nerves connected to each rod.... 
oh well, it was very late when i looked it up.
Main point is that they are connected to the brain. Maybe the reason our eyes seem so beautiful and bright is because they are connected to the brain. The brain's beauty is reflected in the beauty of our eyes
