Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The retina is the light-sensitive surface at the back of the eye that contains cells called rods and cones which are responsible for detecting light and sending visual signals to the brain. The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the dilation of the pupil (the opening that allows light to enter the eye). The optic nerve is a bundle of nerve fibers that carries visual information from the retina to the brain. The cornea is the clear outer layer of the eye that helps to focus incoming light.
