"Golden section" is the law of structural harmony of systems, including the human body. In the structure of the human eye, there are proportions of the "golden section" (in the structure of the cornea, lens, retina). According to the author, this allows the eye to work ergonomically: to obtain the maximum result with minimum energy consumption.
