The part of your eye that is most sensitive to light is the retina. This is not because the retinal tissue is any more fragile than other tissue in the eye, but because the cornea and lens focus incoming light onto the retina, potentially magnifying it as much as 100,000 times. The result is that bright light that would not damage any other part of the eye can severely damage the retina.

What eye color is most sensitive to sunlight?
Dilation of the pupil occurs when not enough light is exposed in the area. If plentiful light was to be exposed without warning, the reaction of the person would be determined by how used they are to light or how their DNA codes for it. This determines how sensitive to light they are by default. Eye color should not play a role in how a person reacts to light. Hope this helped
The human eye is sensitive to?
light stimuli which is converted into electrical impulse (current)and then is transmitted to the occipital area of the brain . The image seen by the right eye is transmitted to the left hemisphere and viceversa.
The photoreceptor cells are very sensitive to damage from light?
True the Photoreceptor sensory cilia are the light sensitive parts of the rods and cones in the eye's retina
Where in the eye houses light sensitive cells?
Retina contains rods and cones
What is the name of the light sensitives cells within the eye?
There are two types called rods, which a simply sensitive to light and dark, and cones which are sensitive to colours. Both types are found on the retina but the rods dipsersed evenly over the surface whereas cones are concentrated on an area called the fovea.
What part of the eye is Light sensitive?
The retina at the back of the eye is light-sensitive
Which part of the eye is sensitive to light?
The retina at the back of the eye is light-sensitive.
Sensitive layer of eye is?
The retina is the sensitive layer of the eye to light, while the cornea is the most sensitive to touch (hence why it hurts if you accidentally brush it)
Is human eye sensitive to red light?
yes the human eye is sensitive to red light
Why is the eye more sensitive for red colors?
It's not. The eye is most sensitive to lime-green. Specifically, light in the neighborhood of 564 nm wavelength.
What is the name of organ at the back of your eye which is light sensitive?
Retina is the layer of light sensitive cells at the back of your eye
Is the human retina is sensitive to ultraviolet light?
the lens is the most sensitive part of the eye. the retina can become damaged when there is an excessive ultraviolet light exposed.
What are rods in the eye sensitive to?
The rods (themselves) are sensitive to light The cones are sensitive to colour
What part of the eye that is sensitive from the light?
pupil
What organ in your eye is sensitive to light?
The pupil in your eye (the black center) is what controls how much light is allowed to enter your eye. The wider the pupil is, the more light is let in. When your eyes feel sensitive to light, it is because the pupil is letting in excessive light. Sometimes, it is a neurological event that makes your eyes sensitive to light, such as a migraine headache. In any case, the area of the brain that is affected by light sensitivity is the portion that is dedicated to the processing of visual information, and that is the occipital cortex.
What is the light-sensitive portion of the eye known as?
retina
What is light sensitive pigment in eye called?
rhodospin
