George Ford Posted August 25, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2014 He can see in even sharper wave lengths of light like x-ray or gamma-ray or something. Plus, you only see the front of his eyes, they actually taper all the way back to the rear of his skull, like telescopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblykiss Posted August 25, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I don't recall JRR specifying that elf irises are the exact same size and shape as human irises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecoNoir Posted August 25, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2014 H knew it was them because Merry dropped the leaf and it was easy to spot them because from the dust There is a scene in the book when he first spots Eomer from some distance away. That's what they're going off of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblykiss Posted August 25, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 25, 2014 As I also seem to recall elves don't die unless killed with physical violence or weariness. I would imagine that is a far more pressing question to answer. Why are Elves living so long unless they are depressed? And what causes Post Elven Depression Syndrome? Are we working on anti-PEDS drugs to keep our Elves safe? Or are we just shipping them to *the west* and making them into somebody else problems? These, my friends, are the questions that matter. Not if Elven need glasses to spot orcish height differences when riding worgs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taun Posted August 26, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2014 There is a special part of an elf's iris called a "plot device"... It lets them see pretty much what the author wants them to at any distance... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
