can interpret For the eye, the process begins as the eye admits light waves, bends them at the cornea and lens, and then focuses them on the retina At the back of each eye, nerve fibers
bundle together to form optic nerves, which join and then split into two optic tracts Some of the
fibers cross so that part of the input from the right visual field goes into the left side of the brain,
