Sight relies on the eye. The eye collects light, focuses it onto the retina, where photoreceptors (rods and cones) convert light into electrical signals that travel through the optic nerve to the brain for interpretation. That direct role in detecting light and forming visual signals makes the eye the organ most closely associated with sight.

The ear handles hearing and balance, the nose handles smell, and the tongue handles taste.
