Organisms evolved light sensitive cells many millions of years ago. These primitive light sensors would help it to hide from predators under a rock or actively move towards food sources using sunlight to grow. Many versions of the eye have evolved, from the compound eye found in flies to the multiple eyes in scallops and Spiders.

The human eye is simply one one of the best to have evolved although it is not the best by far. We see a full colour image because we have two type of cells in the retina.Rod cells give us the perception of light level from back to grey. Cone cells sort the different frequencies,or colours, in light and convert this into electrical signals for the brain to interpret. The absence of these cells tells us which animals can see in colour.

Interesting experiment

The brain receives images upside down but if we wear goggles that turn the world upside down our brain will correct it after about 2 weeks.Taking the goggles off and it takes a similar time to correct itself.
