    would allow people to distinguish an array of different colours. Photoreceptors within the retina are known as cones and rods with rods being more plentiful; there are approximately 100 million rods within each human retina). Rods are also much more sensitive to light however they’re incapable of perceiving colour. There are roughly 6 to 7 million cones in the human retina and it’s the cones that are responsible for seeing colour. These photoreceptors are all located in the very central part of the

    of photoreceptors called rods and cones.

    of three layers. The outer layer is composed of the cornea and sclera, while the middle layer is composed of choroid, ciliary body, and iris, and lastly the inner layer is composed of the retina. The retina houses our photoreceptor cells, rods and cones, which allow our eye to adjust to light making it possible to see. Damage to the retina is detrimental to our vision, which can lead to blindness (Barton, H. and Byrne, K. 2007). Light waves from an object enter the eye through the cornea; the light
