Retinal Detachment - Healthline
The retina is a light-sensitive membrane located at the back of the eye. When light passes through the eye, the lens focuses an image on the retina. The retina converts the image to signals that it sends to the brain through the optic nerve. The retina works with the cornea, lens, and other parts of the eye and the brain to produce normal vision.
