The light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye, it contains rods and cones

Real World Example

Imagine trying to catch the right episode of your favorite TV show without a guide to tell you when it's on. Just as you rely on the TV guide to decipher which shows are playing and when, the retina serves as your eyes' guide, interpreting light into signals your brain can understand. The rods and cones in the retina are like the guide's listings; rods help you see in low light like finding the right show at night, while cones let you see colors clearly, ensuring you enjoy the full spectrum of your favorite episodes.
