Answer:

The third layer of the eye, the retina, receives light rays and images and passes them on to the optic nerve.

Step-by-step explanation:

The retina is the third layer of the eyeball and contains photoreceptors namely rod and cone cells which sense the incoming light energy. The eye lens refracts the light rays and focuses them onto the retina in such a way that reverse and inverted image of the object is formed on the retina. The sensory fibers of the retina serve to deliver the nerve impulse from retina to the brain via the optic nerve.
