If you look towards the bottom of the tracks on both side of your garage door opening, one can find a set of "eyes".  They're there for your safety as well as the safety of your property and pets. If the beam is interrupted, your garage door will stop descending and begin going back up. Normally your garage door opener light will even flash.
