1-4. VISION
The eye (figure 1-1) is the special sense organ responsible for vision. Rays of light (reflected from an object) pass through the cornea, aqueous humor, pupil, lens, and vitreous humor to stimulate the receptor tissue (rods and cones) in the retina. The resulting nerve impulses travel to the brain, where they are interpreted as sight.
