Also, the surface area of an open eye is about 1/200th times that of the skin and that of the hair (i.e. the scalp covered by the hair or hair on other parts of the body like the pubis, armpit and each hair follicle or its immediate coverage area) is about 1/20th that of the skin surface.

Thus,

MCS ~ MCE ~1/MCH

MCS = KMCE * 1/MCH

MCS = K MCE/MCH

MCS = K * 200/20

MCS = 10K

Where MCS is Melanin Content of Skin, MCE is Melanin Content of Eye and MCH is Melanin Content of Hair.

Thus, Melanin Content of Skin is ten times anti-pain or pain defensive of the overall pain felt by the body, wheras that of the eye is half (0.5%) of the overall skin pain level.
