RETINA
Light sensing portion of the eye Contains photoreceptor cells
Rod Cells
About 125 million rod cells in retina Responsible for vision in low light More sensitive to light

Cone Cells
About 6 million cone cells in retina Responsible for color vision and detail Stimulated by more light

LENS
MADE UP OF PROTEINS CALLED CRYSTALLINS FOCUS THE IMAGE ON RETINA FACILIATATES CLEAR VISION
