What house rules the eyes?

The Twelfth House rules the eyes and eye injuries. The Sun in the Twelfth House can lead to injury of the right eye, while the Moon in the Twelfth House can contribute to injury of the left eye. Unfortunately, you're more likely to have blindness if both the Sun and Moon are in your Twelfth House.
