The macula is not directly involved in the refraction of light in the eye. It is a small area near the center of the retina that is responsible for central vision and detailed color vision. Refraction primarily occurs at the cornea and lens of the eye.

What does not contribute to refraction in the eye?

The cornea does not contribute to refraction in the eye. Refraction mainly occurs at the cornea and lens interface to focus light onto the retina. The cornea provides most of the refractive power in the eye.

What does grossly normal macula mean red eyes?

Physicians use "gross" or "grossly" as descriptors meaning "absolutely", "positively", "majorly" "big time" plus whatever word follows. So "grossly normal" means "the macula is absolutely, positively, majorly, big time" NORMAL. The macula is part of the back of the retina, where the occular nerve enters. The macula and retina are part of the eye. Redness of the scleras (the whites of the eye) occur usually from irritation but not from anything abnormal with eye structures.

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


What is the focal point of the eye called and where is it located?

The fovea centralis, also generally known as the fovea, is a part of the eye, located in the center of the macula region of the retina. It's important because it's the center of the eye's sharpest vision and the location of most color perception.
