FACT: The human eye has six muscles to control its movement. The average person blinks 12 times per minute - that means about 10,000 blinks in a day! Your eyeball is composed of over two million working parts and is about one inch in width. It is also important to get an eye exam every year or so - a lot of information can be seen in your eye, even early signs of diabetes or heart disease.
The International Museum of Surgical Science, a division of the International College of Surgeons (ICS), maintains over 10,000 square feet of public galleries committed to the history of surgery, and an exquisite permanent collection of art and artifacts from the history of Medicine. The Museum supports its Mission through medically themed exhibitions and programs, in addition to a strong contemporary art exhibition program.
