How do the eyes send images to the brain?

In: Eyes and Vision Disorders, Human Anatomy, Human Physiology [Edit categories]

Answer:

The image on the retina is converted into nerve impulses by the cones and rods, then this impulse is sent to the brain by the optic nerves (Cranial Nerve II) which travels to the brain, and finally to the occipital lobes where it is interpreted as an image.

Yay this works perfectly!! THANK YOU
