Answer Details
The layer of light-sensitive cells in the human eye is called the retina. The retina is located at the back of the eye and contains photoreceptor cells that convert light energy into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the optic nerve. These signals are then interpreted by the brain as visual images. The other options listed, cornea, sclerotic layer, and conjunctiva, are all parts of the eye as well, but they do not contain light-sensitive cells and do not play a direct role in vision.
