Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The retina is the part of the eye that forms the nervous tunic of the eyeball. It has the following layers:
1. Outer layer: It is a pigmented layer that has a cuboidal epithelium.
2. Inner layer: It is the neural layer that responds to light.
The neural layer has many photoreceptor cells such as rods and cones.
