+ Larger Font / - Smaller Font The Retina  The retina is comprised of a thin layer of nerve fibers lining the inner area of the eye. It functions much like the film in a camara. Light rays enter through the lens and are received by the retina, which converts the rays into electrical signal. Once the signal is transferred to the brain, an image is formed. The macula is the central area of the vision which houses the most concentrated region of cones, and is responsible for fine, detail vision, and lutein pigment, which helps protect the area from free radical formation.
