The rods and cones in the eye transmit light and play a vital role in how we perceive our surroundings. Rods are responsible for low-light vision and peripheral vision, allowing us to see in dim conditions, while cones are responsible for color vision and function best in bright light. These photoreceptor cells convert light into electrical signals, which are then sent to the brain via the optic nerve. This process allows us to interpret and understand visual stimuli, making rods and cones essential for sight.
