The Act of Seeing

The Act of Seeing involves the process of visually perceiving and interpreting the world around us. It begins when light reflects off objects and enters our eyes, where it is focused onto the retina. Specialized cells called photoreceptors convert the light into electrical signals that travel through the optic nerve to the brain. The brain then processes these signals to recognize shapes, colors, and depth, allowing us to understand and respond to our environment. This complex interplay of physical and neurological functions makes sight a vital and sophisticated form of perception.
