eye
eye An organ, sensitive to light, that is developed in many animals. In its simplest form, it consists of a light receptor (ocellus) capable of distinguishing light from shade. In
Arthropoda there are compound eyes, each consisting of many separate receptors (ommaidia) each of which contains light-sensitive cells. In
Cephalopoda and vertebrates each eye is a single organ, possessing an iris which controls the size of aperture (pupil) through which light passes to a lens, which in turn focuses the light on to a
retina.
