Animals are bombarded with sensory information, and the sheer volume of visual information can be problematic. Fortunately, the visual systems of species have evolved to attend to the most-important stimuli. The importance of vision to humans is further substantiated by the fact that about one-third of the human cerebral cortex is dedicated to analyzing and perceiving visual information.

It describes how the lens adjusts focus and how the retina's rods and cones process light, with rods enabling basic vision and cones responsible for sharpness and color detection.
