responsible for carrying all the nerve impulses from the photoreceptors to
the human brain, without which vision would not be possible.
Lens:
It is a transparent, biconvex, and an adjustable part of an eye. The lens with
the help of the cornea refracts light focused on the retina, therefore creating
images on it.
Retina
It is the layer present at the back of the eye where all the images are formed.
It contains millions of rods and cones, two kinds of cells that are highly
sensitive to the light The Rods allow you to see in dim light or dark places.
The cones allow you to see different colors. Both rod and cone take the light
that you eye receives and change this into nerve signals.
