Yes, the macula is a small, actually tiny, spot located in the back of the eye in the retina. It is made up of several different layers of tissue and photoreceptor cells.
The most prevalent photoreceptor cells are the cone cells. You can remember this by cone cells help with clarity, color and central vision. It is this part of the retina that is used to read, recognize faces or for driving.
Sometimes it is called the macula lutea which means "yellow spot." The yellow tint comes from the high concentrations of carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin. These carotenoids make up the macular pigment and help to protect our eyes from the damaging effects of blue light. The thicker the pigment, the better the protection

Mostly are found in the periphery of the retina?
Rod cells are mostly found in the periphery of the retina. These cells are responsible for vision in low light conditions and do not detect color but are sensitive to light intensity. They are more concentrated towards the outer edges of the retina, helping with peripheral vision.
