In some respects, this question has two answers.
The retina is entirely nervous tissue, and as such is considered an extension of the brain (albiet a highly specialised extension). The retina lines the inside of the eye, and detects and responds to light.
However, the other, more traditional answer is that the Visual Cortex, at the posterior (back) of the brain is responsible for making sense of the signals from the retina.
The occipital lobe is the part of brain associated with sight.
The occipital lobe, which is located at the rear of the brain. Run a quick image search and you will be met with images of Sauron. His occipital lobe is terribly displaced.
temporal lobe
Rhinal means relating to the part of the brain concerned with olfaction
Visual cortex
The three lobes of the brain contribute mainly to perception. 1) Temporal lobe contributes to hearing. 2) Occipital lobe contributes to vision. 3) Parietal lobe contributes to touch and motor perception.
The frontal lobe
The brain structure that relays information from the eyes to the visual cortex is called optic nerve.
temporal lobe
temporal lobe
The Parietal Lobe of the Cerebrum
The visual cortex processes visual information in the brain. This part is present in occipital lobe.

That would be the 'Occipital Lobe' it is the visual part of the brain.
occipital
Visual cortex
The optic nerve transmits visual date from the retina to the brain.
The Temporal Lobe
hypothalamus
The three lobes of the brain contribute mainly to perception. 1) Temporal lobe contributes to hearing. 2) Occipital lobe contributes to vision. 3) Parietal lobe contributes to touch and motor perception.
