Aging always affects our body in one way or another, but it is known that not all people look their age: someone retains their shape perfectly even at a later age, and someone in the middle of life can look like a deep old man.

But they say that if you take a good look into a person’s eyes, they will tell about the true age.

This is the essence of the discovery of scientists from the Australian Center for Eye Research (CERA), who created a self-learning computer program that can use the eyes, or rather the retina, not only to determine the biological age of a person, but also to predict what health problems he may experience in future and even how long he will live.
