Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The retina is the light-sensitive inner portion of the eye that contains photoreceptor cells called rods and cones. As we age, changes to the eye can occur, including a decrease in the amount of light that reaches the retina, leading to a decline in visual function. The cornea is the clear outer layer of the eye, the pupil is the small opening in the center of the eye that allows light to enter, and the lens is the transparent structure behind the pupil that helps to focus light onto the retina. None of these structures are directly responsible for the decrease in light reaching the retina with age.
