Light focus by the CORNEA and CRYTALINE LENS
(and limited by the iris and pupil) then reaches the RETINA
the light-sensitive inner lining of the back of the eye. The
retina acts like an electronic image sensor of a digital
camera, converting OPTICAL IMAGES into electronic
signals. The OPTIC NERVE then transmits these signals to
the VISUAL CORNEA the part of the brain that controls our
sense of SIGHT.
