The part of the human eye on which the image is formed is

The human eye functions like a camera, where light enters through the cornea and is focused by the crystalline lens [1]. The eye lens forms an inverted real image of the object on the retina, which is a delicate, light-sensitive membrane located at the back of the eyeball [2]. The retina contains millions of photoreceptor cells, specifically rods and cones, which are responsible for detecting light and processing visual information [1]. These cells convert the light into electrical signals that are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve for interpretation [2]. While the cornea and lens are responsible for refracting and focusing light, and the iris and pupil regulate the amount of light entering, the retina is the specific anatomical structure where the image is actually formed and processed [1][2].
