As creepy as this sounds, it's true! When Albert Einstein died in 1955, pathologist Thomas Harvey performed the autopsy and removed the brain so it could be studied at the University of Pennsylvania.

Harvey also removed the great man's eyes and gave them to Dr. Henry Abrams, Einstein's personal optometrist.

“Albert Einstein was a very important part of my life. A lasting influence” Abrams said. “Having his eyes means the professor’s life has not ended. A part of him is still with me.

“He’s not dead … because I have his eyes.”

Abrams has the eyes as a momento of his friend. It also keeps the great professor alive, in the optometrist's eyes.

Abrams, who died in 2009, had no intention of selling the eyes.

The eyes remain in the box, floating in a jar filled with formaldehyde.
