        Eyes Information

The eye is our organ of vision.

Its complicated design means that an image can pass through its many layers and end up crisply focused on the back of the eye, called the retina.

The retina is covered with light sensitive cells, called rods and cones.

An eye is a sensory organ that allows an organism to perceive visual information.

It detects light and converts it into electro-chemical impulses in neurons.
