It is responsible for sharpest central vision.

Lateral to each blind spot is the Fovea Centralis, a tiny pit that contains only cones. Consequently this is the area of greatest visual acuity, or point of sharpest vision, and anything we wish to view critically is focused on the fovea centralis.

What is the area of sharpest vision in the eye?

The fovea centralis is the area of sharpest vision in the eye. It is located at the center of the retina and contains a high concentration of cones, which are responsible for color vision and detailed focus.


In what area of the retina are cones concentrated?

The highest concentration of cones is in the macula. The fovea centralis, at the center of the macula, contains only cones and no rods. The macula is a small, yellowish central portion of the retina. It is about 5.5 mm in diamter and is the area providing the clearest vision.


Can the fovea centralis be seen with an ophthalmoscope?

Yes. The fovea centralis can be seen with an ophthalmoscope.


Function of fovea centralis?

Located in the center of the macula lutea, the fovea centralis allows the eye to focus for visual discrimination.


What are the functions of the fovea centralis?

They are both parts of the eye. The macula provides the clearest vision and the fovea centralis contains the cones of the eye.

Tiny pit in the macula lutea?

A tiny pit in the macula lutea is likely referring to a foveola, which is a small depression in the center of the macula with the highest concentration of cone cells for detailed central vision. It is a normal anatomical feature of the retina and is important for sharp visual acuity.


What part of the eye contains only cones?

Fovea centralis - contains only cones and maximal visual acuity


Tiny pit of the macula lutea contains only cones?

The fovea centralis is the tiny pit in the macula lutea that contains only cones. Cones are responsible for color vision and detailed central vision. Having only cones in the fovea centralis enhances our ability to see fine details and colors in the central part of our visual field.


What is found in the fovea centralis?

mostly cones and is the area of greatest visual acuity.


What is the basic change with macular degeneration?

degeneration of the retinal cells in the fovea centralis
