| | Optic fovea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The fovea is largely responsible for the color vision in humans which is superior to most other mammals. | | | The fovea is responsible for sharp central vision, which is necessary in humans for reading, watching television or movies, driving, and any activity where visual detail is of primary importance. | | | Eye - Optic nerve - Optic chiasm - Optic tract - Lateral geniculate nucleus - Optic radiations - Visual cortex |

| | By contrast, cones in the fovea are individually connected to nerve fibers. | | | To form high resolution images, the light must fall on the fovea, and that limits the acute vision angle to about 15 degrees. | | | At night, to get most acute vision one must shift the vision slightly to one side, say 4 to 12 degrees so that the light falls on some rods. |

| | Webvision: Simple Anatomy of the Retina |
| | As the fovea is the most essential part of the retina for human vision, protective mechanisms for avoiding bright light and especially ultraviolet irradiation damage are essential. | | | Central retina close to the fovea is considerably thicker than peripheral retina (see sections of retina below). | | | Eventally patients are reduced to tunnel vision with only the fovea spared the disease process. |

| | Nervous System and Senses |
| | Humans have a fovea; when you focus directly on an object the image falls on the fovea- that's why peripheral vision is weak. | | | Most birds have a one-fovea eye that functions similarly to ours, but many birds are bifoveal. | | | A vulture sees about as sharply as humans but a chicken appears to see about 1/25th as well as humans and the hawks and songbirds see about 21/2 times as sharply. |

| | It corresponds to the "focus point" in our visual field. | | | In the absence of overlying optic nerve fibers and other inner retinal layers, the fovea is the area of least refractory distortion and therefore high visual acuity. |

| | The Macula |
| | The fovea is the point of sharpest, most acute visual acuity. | | | The very center of the macula is called the fovea centralis, an area where all of the photoreceptors are cones; there are no rods in the fovea. | | | Vision this acute may be due to there being more cones per square millimeter of the macula than in the average eye, enabling that eye to distinguish much greater detail. |

| | There are no rods in the fovea where vision is most acute. | | | There are no "S" cones in the center of the fovea, the fovea centralis, where visual acuity is highest. | | | Cone density decreases rapidly outside the fovea and then falls to a fairly even density in the peripheral retina. |
