Rods, a type of photoreceptor cell in the retina, help us to see in dim or low light.
They are located on the outer edges of the retina and help with peripheral vision.
Rods are 500 to 1,000 times more sensitive to light than cones and are mainly responsible for night vision. However, rods don’t provide color vision, so night vision is only in black and white, and they have poor resolution.
Rod photoreceptors are mainly responsible for low-light vision and night vision.
