This is pretty neat. It's neat when a ‘secret’ is actually an example of knowledge on something that wasn't openly studied. At that point in time, dissecting a cadaver to glean medical knowledge was considered “Desecrating a body”; and was generally a crime.

It's kind of hard to study the structure of a eye, within a living creature. If the eye has been lost due to an injury, it's usually destroyed, or it decomposes quickly. So, when the opportunity for an examination on how an eye works, how it's designed, and how it's put together would be both profound knowledge, and of a necessity - would need to be hidden (only way to get it, is to “Desecrate a body”.).
