"the notion that the eye was wired backward occurred to me as a 13 yr old when studying eye anatomy in a school science class. it took me 2 yrs of lecturing on human eye anatomy to realize why the eye is wired the way it is. the idea that the eye is wired backward comes from a lack of kn owledge of eye function and anatomy"
"the retina is probably the most complicated tissue in the whole body. millions of nerve cells interconnect in a fantastic number of ways to form a miniature "brain". much of what the photoreceptors "see" is interpreted and processed by the retina long before it enters the brain "
