Infos

The retina, often thought of as a simple light detector, is in fact a marvel of biological engineering. While it does initiate the process of vision by capturing light, its true magic lies beyond. Rods and cones, the retina's light-sensitive cells, translate light into electrical signals, but the story doesn't end there. These signals are then processed within the retina itself, allowing for functions like night vision, color perception, and depth perception. This intricate processing power shapes how we experience the world - from appreciating a vibrant sunset to navigating a busy street. Understanding the retina's complexities opens the door to not only appreciating the miracle of sight, but also to developing solutions for vision problems, ensuring a clear window to our world.
