The EyeThe Eyeby Jenna Luchak, Kristen Allen, and Helena Lechelt The eye is an important part of the body. The eye tells you when danger is near. The coloured part of the eye is called the iris. The eye is the eye. The black part of the eye is called the pupil. The retina at the back of your eye is made from millions of light cells called rods and cones, which send signals to the brain along the optic nerve (optic means for eyes). The eyelashes keep dust and dirt out of your eyes. What are your eyebrows for? If you didn’t have a retina you would not be able to see. Your eye works in both darkness and light. The pupil opens up when it is dark, and closes when it is light. The eye is filled with jelly and fluid. There is a lens called a cornea at the front of the eye, and another lens behind the cornea.
