    Retina
    The light- sensitive layer of cells (rods and cones) lining at the back of the eye. It converts the impressions produced by light into electrical impulses, which are then carried by the optic nerve to the visual cortex of the brain

    Retina: The retina is the nerve layer that lines the back of the eye, senses light, and creates impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain. There is a small area, called the macula, in the retina that contains special light-sensitive cells. The macula allows us to see fine details cle...
