Expert Solution

Introduction

The human eye is the organ that is responsible for vision. The eye is divided into three layers, namely the outermost layer, middle layer, and inner layer.

It consists of two major photoreceptor cells, namely rod cells and cone cells that are responsible for light perception. The vision provided by the rods is referred to as the scotopic vision, whereas the vision provided by the cones is referred to as the photopic vision.
