Question:
Why do our eyes see big images in spite of having a very small retina?
Answer:
You ask a very interesting question. The objects that we see are focused on the retina of the eye. The image is upside down and backwards, and indeed is quite small. The brain inverts the image to its proper position and adjusts the size. This is just one of the features of your amazing visual system of the eye and the brain.
