Answer 2

The light stimulates the photoreceptors in the patient's retina, which then send signals to the brain through the optic nerve. The brain interprets these signals as the sensation of seeing a bright light.

The light enters the patient's eye, passing through the cornea and lens to focus on the retina. This stimulates the photoreceptor cells in the retina, which then send signals along the optic nerve to the brain, where the sensation of seeing the bright light is perceived.
