I found this on the web. Have no idea if it's true or not.
Since every eye is different I seriously doubt that this is accurate. Sounds like something someone made up. Some people still think "if it's on the internet it must be true".
That's because the print size is infinity! Seriously though, on a print even with close viewing we can't tell the difference past 300 dpi. But in the world we constantly refocus and build the image in our brain. Our peripheral vision detects movement but is not sharp, so looking close up at something we probably only focus sharply about 8 inches ish but refocusing without moving our head we can build a sharp image for maybe 10 feet by 10 feet, so I get 1296 megapixels. Prove me wrong!

Is this site on the internet???
It is easy to print something that no one had data to dispute! Who knows?

I have found it to be only 68.6% in actual practice.

I read on the internet that 3 out of 2 people have problems with fractions too! :)

According to the estimating tool I perfected in business, PIOOYA, it’s 68.7%.

If you put a shutter in front of your eye I think you will not get that many megapixels. The image in the eye is built up by continuous observation, not just a 1/30 second blink.

I thought it was closer to 95%
I don't see how that's even quantifiable. Does this include people who have their head up their ass?

According to my Ophthalmology Specialist, one who graduated from a highly accredited medical school, we do have the equivalent of approximately 500 pixels in our eyes due to the complex connection of cells in our retinas and their direct connection to specific areas of our brains.

I don't know just how many rods and cones are in a typical eye but I repeat that an image is not formed from a 1/15 second fragment of time (approximately the flicker frequency). When you look for something for a second or two your brain takes the eye data and performs an overlay to stack the images, thereby increasing the detail available and reducing the noise. This is probably an oversimplified version of what actually takes place, but your brain is an active part of seeing.
