eyes - Are rods/cones rejuvenated periodically?

Pretty much what the title states.



Some cells/structures in the human body undergo rejuvenation periodically by flushing away older cells and growth of new ones.
E.g Skin, Blood



Does this (for want of a better word) 'rejuvenation' apply to Rods/Cones within the eye too? If so, how are the old cells flushed out - or do the old cells become part of the local humour?
