The correct order from the front (where light hits first) to the back of the eye is ganglion cells, bipolar cells, rods and cones, and finally the pigmented epithelium. Light passes through several layers before reaching the photoreceptor cells (rods and cones), which are situated towards the back of the retina, near the pigmented epithelium.
