Retinal

The retina is a thin layer of tissue lining the back of the eye that functions like the eye's light sensor. It detects light and converts it into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the optic nerve, enabling us to see. The retina contains specialized cells called rods and cones; rods help us see in low light, and cones provide color and detail. Proper retinal function is essential for clear vision, and damage or disease affecting the retina can lead to visual impairments or blindness.
