Retna

Retina is a thin layer of specialized tissue located at the back of the eye that functions like the eye's film. It contains light-sensitive cells called photoreceptors (rods and cones) that detect light and convert it into electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve, allowing us to perceive images. The retina is essential for vision, enabling us to see colors, shapes, and details. If the retina is damaged or diseased, it can lead to vision problems or blindness.
