1. Lens:

• A transparent structure behind the iris.
• Focuses light onto the retina.

1. Retina:

• The light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye.
• Contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that convert light into electrical signals.

• The central part of the retina.
• Responsible for sharp, detailed central vision.
