Retina
Apple's sharp display standard
The retina is the light-sensitive layer of tissue lining the back of the eye.
It contains cells that detect light and color, converting visual information into nerve signals sent to the brain.
A detached retina is a medical emergency requiring prompt treatment to prevent permanent vision loss.
