Vision Foveal

Foveal vision refers to the clear central vision provided by the fovea, a small pit in the center of the retina. The fovea contains a dense concentration of cones, the eye's photoreceptors responsible for visual acuity and color discrimination.

Thanks to the high density of cones in the fovea, this small area of ​​the retina, about 1.5 mm in diameter, provides sharp central vision and the ability to distinguish small details and text. Vision beyond the fovea deteriorates rapidly due to the much lower density of photoreceptors. Therefore, to see objects clearly, we instinctively turn our eyes so that the image falls directly on the fovea.

Problems with the fovea, such as age-related macular degeneration, can seriously affect visual acuity and the ability to read or distinguish fine details. Understanding the unique structure and function of foveal vision is important for the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases.

Foveal vision (Latin lucem foveale, English fov3el5c5e sens4a5tion) is a form of vision in which a small central area with increased sensitivity to light is formed on the retina. As a result, images received by the central part of the retina become bright and clear, while images located in the periphery remain blurry. The foveal form of vision is characteristic of many species of animals and is one of the forms
