Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The periphery of the retina contains the highest proportion of rods which are responsible for detecting light and providing visual information in dim light conditions. The fovea, on the other hand, contains a high concentration of cones which are responsible for color vision and sharpness of detail, but have low sensitivity to light. The blind spot is an area in the retina where there are no photoreceptor cells. The cornea is the outermost layer of the eye and is not part of the retina.
