Light travels in the eye through the cornea, then the pupil (where the iris changes shape to let the light in more or less, depending on what is needed), then the lens, then the vitreous humor, then the retina, and finally to a pigmented layer called the choroid. The choroid absorbs the light so that it stops there. The rods and cones in the retina right before the choroid read the light and send the information through the optic nerve in the very back of the eyeball. The information it sends is upside-down though, so the brain turns it right-side-up and so, we can see :)

Why can't people see in the dark?
People can't see in the dark because their eyes need light to create images. In low-light conditions, the pupils dilate to allow more light in, but there may still not be enough to see well. Additionally, the specialized cells in the retina called rods, which are responsible for low-light vision, need some level of light to function effectively.
