The human eye has colour-sensitive cones in the back of the retina which are sensitive to green, blue and red light. They are also used for your central vision, which is what you focus your vision on. Rods are used for peripheral and night vision; they are found on other areas of the eye aside from the back. Their quality is poorer than cones, which is why your peripheral vision is a poorer quality than central (this is also why you cannot see stars when you stare at them directly)
