    Eye Structure and Function

    The eye contains several structures that work together to allow vision. The cornea and lens refract light to focus images onto the retina. The retina contains light-sensitive rods and cones that detect light and color. In the center of the retina is the macula and fovea, which provide sharp central vision. Common vision conditions include nearsightedness and farsightedness caused by the eye's shape, as well as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and colorblindness. Several procedures like LASIK can help correct refractive errors.
