           ing it.

               4. Light Coming to the Eye
               For rays reflected by objects to be perceived as colour, it is necessary for
           them to reach the eye. The existence of the eye alone is not sufficient. After
           reaching the eye, the rays ought to be converted into nerve signals that reach
           a brain working in harmony with the eyes.
                Let us think about our own eyes and brains as the closest example. The
           human eye is a very complex structure that consists of many different
           organelles and parts. As a result of the simultaneous and harmonious oper-
           ation of all these parts, we see and perceive colours. The eye, with its tissues
           and organelles such as lachrymal glands, cornea, conjunctiva, iris and pupil,
           lens, retina, choroid, eye muscles and lids, is a matchless system. In addition,
           with its extraordinary nerve web that establishes its connection to the brain,

           On the left, we see the connections between the nerve cells in the retina. The complex
           interconnections between the different layers of cells help the nerve cells to move
           together and interact with each other. On the right is a close-up of cone cells. While
           short cone cells help us to see the world as coloured, long rod cells help us to see
           shapes and movements.
