Light hits your cornea, the lens bends the light, sending it through your pupil to hit the back of your eyeball on the retina. Special photoreceptive cells in your retina, called rods and cones, react to the light, generating electrical signals that travel through your optic nerve to your brain where it compiles the information and creates the perception of sight.
