Retina is made of light sensitive cells called rods and cones. Rods and cones detect the color and then change images into signals to that travel to the brain along the optic nerve.

Retina is made up of light sensitive cells. Those light sensitive cells are rods and cones. The rods and cons are responsible for vision at low level . they are two types of photo receptor. The rods are more sensitive then cons. They are responsible for the detection of color and then change the images into signals . The signals start traveling from brain to optic nerve.
