1 VISION Retina: light-sensitive inner surface of the eye that contains the rods, cones and neurons that process visual stimuli Photoreceptors: neurons that respond to light Blind Spot: part of the retina that does not contain any photoreceptors; located where the optic nerve leaves the eye

2 Rods: provide black and white vision
Cones: provide color vision Dark Adaptation vs. Light Adaptation Visual Acuity: sharpness of vision Snellen Vision Chart: measures visual acuity Afterimage of a color is its complimentary color
