We could call those "kanlymivysle" ("mivysle" meaning a cell in the biological
sense). What about the other two words?
(btw, kal is the rafsi for kanla, so kalsle and kalmivsle)
for eyelet -- kalselce'u (it's a little metaphorical, since they are not organisms, per se)
for ocellus -- sapkanla
for rhabdom -- skazgasle
We have "grana" and "konju" of course, which would be understood in the
context of vertebrate vision.
