WTF. I like it.

As a very silly boy who doesn't know anything about bio, could someone smart explain this?

I Think they are saying our eyes are foreign object.

Well that's . . . horrific . . .

Your immune system doesn't know about your eyes. If it somehow found out, it would attack the foreign object and you would go blind.

Our eyes have privilege of restricting immune response from our body so our vision is not damaged. But there are auto immune diseases that makes this happen too damaging our vision. So I guess OP is talking about that?...

Another fun biological fact: never let immune system know about brain, thyroid, balls and ovaries (for the same reasons) . The more you know...

Yes. And optic neuritis (I have this in both eyes) is an autoimmune condition that attacks your eyes. White blood cells attack the optic nerves thinking the nerve coating, myelin sheath, is an allergen, damaging the nerves and opening up for an infection. It's part of multiple sclerosis.
