Photo Transduction Process

Phototransduction is the process by which light energy is converted into neural signals by photoreceptors in the retina, with rods responsible for dim light vision and cones for bright light and color vision. The document details the structure and function of photoreceptors, the chemical processes involved in vision, and the mechanisms of light and dark adaptation. It also discusses visual acuity tests and the differences in sensitivity and acuity between rods and cones.
