They are trying to convince themselves that the eyes are a sense organ, which is taken for granted by science so they are trying to confirm this belief. Hellooooooo? Why would they perform so many different tests if they were absolutely sure? Because they are not sure.

Science does test the other senses in humans from babies to older people, science also tests all the senses in animals in pare to determine the acuity of those senses and to determine exactly how they work. Knowing how a sense works is a great aid for the scientists developing aids for people who have impaired senses of have lost them altogether. The bionic eye is a recent development, the hearing aid has been around for a long time, and all because science has been studying all the senses and will continue to study them. The more how the senses work, the better the aids will be for those who need them. Science does not test vision because they are not sure how the eyes work, that is a small psrt of the testing, but refining the understanding of how the eye works will help to improve efforts to restore sight and other lost senses.
That you, Peacegirl, have framed your question this way, indicates that you have no understanding of what science is, or how it is done, or why. Both you and Lessans have abundently displayed your willfull ignorance on this and many other subjects, yet you both have the audacity to claim that you know better than the scientists who have been studying these subjects for years and you both know nothing about them.
