Biophotonics and Vision Correction

Description: The eye is made up of different structures that allow it to receive light from the different objects that form our world. Detectors at the back of the eye (retina) sense the light and convert it into an electrical signal which is sent to the brain. The brain interprets the different colors and intensities of lights and puts them together as an image.
