retinae
Rods and cones' home
Retinae is the Latin plural of retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye.
In medical and scientific writing, both retinae and retinas appear as plurals, with retinas more common in general usage and retinae preferred in formal anatomical contexts: The retinae of both eyes showed signs of degeneration.
