What is the name of the plates on a mole's skin which compensate for bad eyesight?

l3i7l

I could not find anything about 'plates' on a mole's skin. The closest thing to be found were goose-bump like structures, called Eimer's organs. Eimer's organs are found on the noses of all moles, as well as some related insectivores like shrews. Each contains a cluster of nerves that make them particularly touch-sensitive. Other species of moles have about 2,000 Eimer's organs on their noses, but the star-nosed mole has more than 25,000. http://www.nwf.org/natlwild/starnose.html Sep 03 01, 3:16 PM

Early in his career John Lennon never appears wearing eye glasses, later he more than often has them on. Did his eyesight go bad or was he just hiding his need for them when he was young? Are moles hereditary or is there a way to prevent them? What breed of dog has the best eyesight? If I mix, say, 5 moles of ethanoic anhydrate with 10cm of water, will the molarity be changed, or will there still be 5 moles of the ethanoic anhydrate?
