The above statement is true.
The retina is the back part of the eye, which contains light-sensitive cells. These specialized cells are known as photoreceptors. These photoreceptors in the retina are named: rods and cones. The rods are the most sensitive to changes in light intensity. Cones are cells sensitive to bright light, and rods are sensitive to dim light.
