The macula is a small, specialized area in the retina of the eye responsible for sharp, central vision. Located in the center of the retina, it is roughly 5.5 millimeters in diameter and is densely packed with photoreceptor cells, particularly cones. These cones are crucial for color vision and function best in bright light, allowing us to see fine details. The very center of the macula is called the fovea, which has the highest concentration of cones and is the point of sharpest vision.
The macula plays a vital role in everyday activities such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces. Its
