The eye contains several parts that work together to allow vision. Light enters through the cornea and passes through the pupil, which is controlled by the iris and sized by the radial and circular muscles. The light then passes through the lens, which changes shape via the ciliary muscles and suspensory ligaments to focus the light onto the retina. The retina contains light-sensitive cells that transmit signals through the optic nerve to the brain. The fovea is the most sensitive part of the retina, forming clear images, while the blind spot lacks cells.
