Rods vs. Cones:<\/strong> Rods and Cones are two different types of photoreceptors in the eye’s vertebrate retina. The main difference between rods and cones is that rods are very sensitive to light and only be used for vision under low lights, while cones are not very sensitive and can be used under high light conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
