Senses: eyes and ears, sentence 2

Inside the eye a lens, like a magnifying glass, throws an upside-down picture onto the back of the eye, and the brain turns it the right way up and even fills in a small blind spot where you see nothing at all.

Who acts: lens, brain, you · What happens: magnify, throw, turn, fill, see · To what, where: upside down picture, eye, lens, small blind spot, nothing, all
