Generated image of a model of the eye indicating the retina
The retina is a thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye. It helps you see by turning light into signals that go into your brain.

The retina is connected to the brain through the optic nerve. When light enters your eye, the retina receives it and sends images as electrical signals. You can find the retina lining the inside surface at the back of each eye.
