You said that afferent nerves aren't used to see but rods and cones are used to see. That indicates you do not believe rods and cones to be afferent photoreceptor.

He was very clear when he distinguished between afferent and efferent which you should understand by now. The connection between any external stimuli striking a nerve ending which then sends impulses to the brain for interpretation is the very definition of sense organ. If the brain does not decode the pattern of light which is believed to be responsible for normal sight, then the eyes cannot be called a sense organ.
