When we close and open our eyes and see what ever is in front of us, how is that action works...(not the blinking) but the fact that our eyes act as cameras capturing images..What is the speed if any of such activity and if there is speed involved, Is there a time delay?

The images form on the retina of the eye when it is open almost instantly. However, there is a delay of about 1/10 second before the perception of the outside world forms in the brain. This is due to limited speed of signal propagation through nerve cells.

well, being that images are formed because of light, then the speed would be equal to the speed of light = 300 000 000 m/s
