  • Lens - transparent structure in the eye that helps to refract light to be focused onto the retina
  • Retina - light layer of tissue lining the inner surface of the eye
  • Photoreceptors - responsible for detecting different types of light and enabling us to see
  • Optic Nerve - transmits visual signals from the retina to the brain
  • Refraction - change in direction of a light wave due to a change in its transmission medium
  • Rods - photoreceptors that DO NOT mediate color vision
  • Cones - photoreceptors that DO mediate color vision
