The Human Eye

Anatomy:
How does the eye work?
The human eye is similar to a camera. When you look at an object, light reflected from the object enters your eye through the pupil and is focused through the optical parts within the eye.
The front of the eye consists of the cornea, iris, pupil, and lens.
The back of the eye consists of the optic nerve, the retina, the fovea, and the macula.

Rods Vs. Cones:
-
Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels (Scoptic vision). They do not mediate color vision, and have a low spatial acuity.
Cones are active at higher light levels (Photopic vision). They are capable of color vision and are responsible for high spacial acuity.
