Desert winds often blow sand into the air. To protect their eyes, camels have long eyelashes (A) that catch most of the sand. If sand gets into an eye, a camel has a third eyelids to get it out (B). Like a windshield wiper on a car, this extra eyelid moves from side to side and wipes the sand away. The eyelid is very thin, so a camel can see through it. In sandstorms, camels often close their third eyelid and keep walking. You might say that a camel can find its way through a sandstorm with its eyes closed.

Eyes: A camel has two rows of thick long eyelashes to keep out blowing sand.
Eyelids: Camels have a translucent (light can go through) second lid that allows light to go through, but protects the eye in mild sand storms.
