In some respects, this question has two answers.

The retina is entirely nervous tissue, and as such is considered an extension of the brain (albiet a highly specialised extension). The retina lines the inside of the eye, and detects and responds to light.

However, the other, more traditional answer is that the Visual Cortex, at the posterior (back) of the brain is responsible for making sense of the signals from the retina.

How each part of the sense organs work together?

Sense organs work together by receiving external stimuli and transmitting signals to the brain for processing. For example, the eye detects light signals and sends them to the brain to interpret as visual information. The brain then integrates this visual information with input from other sense organs like the ears and skin to create a comprehensive perception of the environment.
