Detailed explanation-1: -The retina is the innermost layer in the eye that is responsible for the visual processing that turns light energy from photons into three-dimensional images.

Detailed explanation-2: -The inner layer of the eye, or retina, is similar to film in a camera. It receives light from an image we are looking at, and converts that light into electrical impulses which are sent through the fibres of the optic nerve to the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -The retina (pronounced: RET-nuh), the innermost of the three layers, lines the inside of the eyeball. The retina is a soft, light-sensitive layer of nervous system tissue. The optic nerve carries signals from the retina to the brain, which interprets them as visual images.

Detailed explanation-4: -Retina: a light sensitive layer that lines the interior of the eye. It is composed of light sensitive cells known as rods and cones. The human eye contains about 125 million rods, which are necessary for seeing in dim light.
