He thought that, if the images that were captured by the eye were to make sense, they must be interpreted by the brain; so there had to be a nerve connecting the eye to the brain (the optic nerve.) To see if this was true, he dug a knitting needle behind his own eye. :o I think the best thing I ever read about Sir Isaac Newton was his study in to the human eye.

There are tons of things about Newton that most people don't know about and one of his greatest "champions" today is Dr. Neil Tyson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiOwqDmacJo about 4 minutes in if you can't wait :P Perhaps the smartest man that ever lived.
