The eye connects with with the brain via the optic nerve. Inevitably, it is slightly more complicated than that. The retina of the eye does considerable processing of visual information and the eye/visual context can be considered a single system. Interestingly, by accidents of evolution, the retina is "inside out" - the nerves are on the wrong side and the visual cortex is at the back of the brain making the optic nerve much longer than it needs to be.

What part of eye send message to brain so that a person can see?

The organ of vision is the retina of the eye. The sensory receptors are called photoreceptors. When photoreceptors are stimulated, impulses travel within the optic nerve (CN II) to the visual (occipital) cortex of the brain for interpretation. There are two types of photoreceptors: Cones are photoreceptors for color vision and produce sharp images while the Rods are photoreceptors for night vision and produce silhouettes of images.
