The fovea is responsible for sharp central vision (also called foveal vision), which is necessary in humans for activities for which visual detail is of primary importance, such as reading and driving.

2024年9月24日 · The fovea is the area of the retina that provides maximum visual acuity. To see an object with sharp vision, you must focus the image on the fovea centralis. Foveal vision consists of the central two degrees of your visual field, which is about twice as wide as your thumbnail held at arm’s length.

2017年8月31日 · The depression in the very center of the macula where eyesight is sharpest. It is also called the fovea centralis.

2023年1月21日 · What Is the Fovea? The fovea is a small area of the retina that contains the highest concentration of photoreceptors. These photoreceptors, called cones, are responsible for sharp vision, which helps us see details clearly.

2023年8月28日 · The fovea centralis, or fovea, is a small depression within the neurosensory retina where visual acuity is the highest. The fovea itself is the central portion of the macula, which is responsible for central vision.

2021年1月27日 · Fovea centralis function also includes the discernment of other image details, such as distinguishing between different colors and sensing three-dimensional depth. Fovea vs. macula. Fovea anatomy can be tricky because the retina and macula are also light-sensitive parts of the eye that create sharp vision.

2024年2月13日 · The fovea centralis is a specialized area of the retina that has the highest visual acuity (sharpest vision). Specifically, it is a depression located within the center of the macula lutea, the rounded yellowish area of the retina situated just lateral to the optic disc.

2020年2月7日 · We summarize the development, structure, different neural types and neural circuitry in the human fovea. The foveal pit is devoid of rod photoreceptors and of secondary and tertiary neurons, allowing light to directly stimulate cones and give us maximal visual acuity.

2025年1月22日 · The fovea centralis is a small, central pit in the retina of the eye, responsible for sharp central vision. It contains a high concentration of cone cells, which are photoreceptors specialized for detecting fine detail and color.

Fovea (/ ˈfoʊviə /) (Latin for "pit"; plural foveae / ˈfoʊvii /) is a term in anatomy. It refers to a pit or depression in a structure. Fovea ethmoidalis part of the frontal bone of skull that separates ethmoid sinuses from the anterior cranial fossa.
