The human eye is comparable to a camera with a lens in front and a film behind (which is called retina). The retina is one of the four important structures of the eye which is responsible for good quality and quantity vision and is placed approximately 2 cm behind the cornea. The light entering the eye reaches the retina and is further relayed via the optic nerve to our brain. Thus severe vision loss can occur in diseases affecting the vitreous, retina and optic nerve.
