Received 25 Feb 2019

A brief overview of currently available data on human retina is presented. Classical information on the general structure and cellular composition of this first neural department of visual system is given, as well as data obtained using new improved research methods that significantly enriched and detailed the previously existing knowledge of the retina.

Key words: man and primates, retinal morphology, cell types
