When it enters the eyes, is light a particle or wave? If so, what happens to this particle or wave when it is ‘seen’? Is it absorbed physically?

Light is both a particle and a wave. It depends on what phenomena you are observing. All what happens in the eye can be explained by wave theory. Thus, refracted at the lens, imaged on the retina, detected by rods and cones cells.
