In a camera the following parts could be considered equivalent to the parts of a human eye:

  • Optical diaphragm = Iris
  • Aperture in optical diaphragm = Pupil
  • Outer lens element / lens glass = Cornea
  • Inner lens element = Eye lens
  • CCD Sensor (in a digital camera) = Retina

This is a huge simplification of a very complex topic. Please see the related links for more information.

I think a pinhole camera is similar to the human eye because like the pinhole camera when it sees something it reflects the image but it is an inverted image.
