SIGHT

IT BEGINS WITH LIGHT

• Light travels through the air as waves
• The waves are then collected by the eye

CORNEA AND PUPIL

• First stop: Cornea (protective covering)
• Into the black hole: Pupil (entry way to the eye)

LENS AND RETINA

• Bending light: Lens (focuses light onto back of eye)
• Converting the wave: Retina (transforms light into electric message)

RODS AND CONES

• Quantity: Rods (responds to intensity of light)
• Quality: Cones (responds to quality of light [color])

OPTIC NERVE

• The information superhighway: Optic nerve (takes electric signal to the brain)
