Dilation of the pupil
Rod cells are mostly found in the periphery of the retina. These cells are responsible for vision in low light conditions and do not detect color but are sensitive to light intensity. They are more concentrated towards the outer edges of the retina, helping with peripheral vision.
The light-sensitive part of the eye, called the retina, detects light and converts it into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. This process allows us to see and interpret the world around us.
The process of sharpening the focus of light on the retina is known as accommodation. Accommodation is primarily carried out by the lens of the eye, which changes its shape to focus light rays onto the retina, ensuring clear vision for objects at different distances.
This process that produces a focused image on the retina through the bending of light rays is called refraction. To bring near and far objects into focus, it is necessary for the eye lens to make an adjustment through this process as light rays enter the retina.
When bending light rays to focus them on the retina the two structure involved are the air-cornea interface which accounts for about two-thirds of the light-bending process and the lens which accounts for the remaining third but also makes the necessary adjustments to allow the eye to focus on objects at different distances.

Cornea: Transmits & focuses light into the eye. Lens: Focuses light rays onto the retina. Retina: Creates impulses to the brain. Thepupil is a hole located in the center of the iris of the eye that allows light to enter the retina.
Rods are photoreceptor cells in the retina that are responsible for vision in low light conditions. They are sensitive to light and help us see shapes and movement in dim lighting. Rods are not sensitive to color and are more concentrated around the periphery of the retina.
phototransduction, where light energy is converted into electrical signals by photoreceptor cells in the retina. This process is essential for vision as it allows the brain to interpret visual information from the environment.
Cone cells, or cones, are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye which function best in relatively bright light. The cone cells gradually become sparser towards the periphery of the retina.
The light-sensitive part of the eye, called the retina, detects light and converts it into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. This process allows us to see and interpret the world around us.
The cornea and lens work together to focus light rays onto the retina at the back of the eye. The cornea helps to refract light entering the eye, while the lens can change its shape to fine-tune the focusing process for near or distant objects. This precise focusing allows the retina to capture clear images for processing by the brain.
The cones in the retina are primarily concentrated in the fovea, a small central pit in the macula region of the retina. This area is responsible for high-acuity vision and color perception, as cones are responsible for detecting light and color. The density of cones decreases significantly as you move away from the fovea toward the periphery of the retina.

The photoreceptors commonly referred to as "Rods", which are found in the retina, are responsible for night vision. (scotopic vision) "Cones" are responsible for colored vision with brighter light conditions. (photopic vision)
