How does the eye produce images?

Answer 1

When light is passed through the lens and cornea, it is focused to a portion in the back of your eye. This light, not looking at it as a picture but a beam of light, is then shone on to a patch of photoreceptors that make up the retina. This is the most important part of the eye because this retina is responsible for changing the physical energy, light, into electrical energy, neural impulses. So when this light hits the retina the photoreceptors, like the rods and cones that produce color and shape, they take that energy and transduction it into electrical energy. This energy is them passed through the back of the eyes by the neural cords that attach to the eyes and sent to the brain. Once the eyes send that energy and it reaches the brain, it is sent to the visual association area of the brain, either in the pre-frontal cortex or another area around there (A little unsure). From there this association area takes those neural impulses that the retina created and pieces together pictures. Then from the information that was given to this area it can associated those neural impulses as certain objects or colors and you then can perceive the picture you are seeing.

Answer 2

backwards

Additional answer

Upside down, actually. 'Backwards' makes it sound is if it's a mirror image, which it isn't.

Answer 3

The cornea and the lens focus the light on the retina - but the "image" you see is formed in the brain from just parts of the light image that exists in the eye.
