If somebody said you have to give up four out of your five senses, which is the only sense that you would keep? Smelling would almost certainly be the first to go. And since smell is so connected to taste, that is out of there too. Then most likely touch.
So what’s left? Hearing and sight. Although not being able to listen to music anymore would be unfortunate, most men and women would probably rather maintain their sight. At least you can watch movies with subtitles.
Sight is an integral part of almost each and every activity that we do in our every day life. Our eyes are most likely the body part we depend most on, and yet a lot of of us do really small to care for our eyes.
