"What is beauty, and if it is in the eye of the beholder, then what is it that is being said to be in the eye of the beholder?"

Eyes are organs of vision that detect light. Different kinds of light-sensitive organs are found in a variety of organisms. The simplest eyes do nothing but detect whether the surroundings are light or dark, while more complex eyes can distinguish shapes and colors.
