The macula is a small anatomical area in the inner ear and the eye; it contains an increased number of nerve cells. In the inner ear, it is the patch of sensory hair that provides information about the position of the body in relation to gravity, also known as the otolith organ of the ear. In the eye, the macula is a shallow depression in the retina of the eye, opposite the lens. It contains a large concentration of cones and is specialized for the perception of color and sharp intense images.
Latin = spot (cf. immaculate - spotless); adjective - macular.
An oval area in the retina on the back of the eye where the photoreceptors are most dense. The center of the macula is called the fovea. The macula is responsible for the central (or reading vision.) The macula has the greatest concentration of cone cells, and when the eye is directed at an object, the part of the image that is focused on the fovea is the image most accurately registered by the brain. It provides the best visual acuity in light, thus allowing one to also see in color.
The part of the retina responsible for straight ahead central vision
the central portion of the retina that is responsible for the sharpest sight.
The area of the retina responsible for detail vision, like reading and recognizing faces, and color vision.
the specialized part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision (the ability to see detail)
central 5.5 mm part of the retina
A very fragile and sensitive part of the retina.
the region of the retina that helps provide best central vision. the fovea is at the center of the macula
The central portion of the retina responsible for high detail, color vision
depressed spot in the retina lateral to the optic disc, found in primates. The macula is the area of greatest concentration of photoreceptors, and thus of the highest resolution of vision.
The small central area within the retina that enables people to see fine details clearly. Damage or breakdown of the macula results in a loss of vision in the center portion of the eye, while peripheral, or side, vision remains unaffected. Macular degeneration is a fairly common disorder of the eye. It can vary greatly in its severity, and should be evaluated immediately if suspected.
The central portion of the retina. The macula contains a dense concentration of cone photoreceptor cells that help us see fine visual detail and color vision. Only primates (human and monkey) have maculas.
The center of the retina. Used for direct focusing.
the portion of the eye that allows us to see fine details clearly.
Mack-U-Lah] The part of the retina responsible for the center of vision.
used for detailed vision; driving, reading, etc.
A small central area of the retina responsible for fine central visual acuity.
area of the retina surrounding the fovea, and with the fovea comprises the area of most acute vision
The retinal region responsible for fine visual details.
is the small, specialized area of the retina responsible for central vision.
The small, sensitive area of the central retina, providing vision for fine work and reading. Go to Top
The point of clearest vision at the centre of the retina.
is the part of the eye responsible for detailed central vision.
(MAK-yoo-luh) The small, sensitive area of the central retina; provides vision for fine work and reading.
The area of the retina responsible for clear, detailed central vision.
Small area near the center of the retina that helps you see images in greater detail.
The area of the retina responsible for the center of our vision. The macula often deteriorates as we age, causing age-related macular degeneration. Many patients with this condition lose some or all of their ability to see straight ahead, and are left with only peripheral (side) vision. Several retina specialists at The Cole Eye Institute treat wet and dry macular degeneration.
the central area of the retina
small, highly sensitive located in the center of the retina responsible for near and fine detail vision
The central part of the retina where the rods and cones are densest.
Part of the eye near the middle of the retina.
The central portion of the retina, a healthy macula is critical in maintaining sharp vision.
the small, sensitive area of the central retina which provides vision for fine work and reading. The macula consists of cones which lie roughly in the center of the retina.
The small, uniquely pigmented and specialized area of the retina.
Sensitive area of the retina responsible for central vision
highly sensitive part of the retina responsible for detailed central vision
This ia a specialized part of the retina containing mostly cones. The macula is used for all detailed visual tasks. The center of the macula is called the fovea. If a disease process harms or destroys the macula, vision may be reduced to 20/200 (legal blindness).
A small area of the retina where vision is the keenest. The macula is located in the center of the retina and provides central vision. Activities that require central vision include driving, reading and other activities that require sharp, straight-ahead vision.
The center of the retina . It is responsible for straight ahead vision, best (reading) vision, and the majority of color vision.
The small, sensitive area of the central retina; provides vision for fine work and reading (see picture from St. Luke's Cataract & Laser Institute) ( see also Fovea)
is a small area of the retina located near the optic nerve at the back of the eye. It is responsible for our central, most acute vision.
Small specialized area of the retina that makes detailed vision possible.
The small area of the retina that surrounds the fovia and comprises the area of distinct (detail) vision.
The small area of the retina that surround the fovea and that with the fovea comprises the area of the retina that gives distinct vision. Also referred to as the yellow spot.
region of greatest visual acuity in the centre of the retina with the highest density of photoreceptors; an especially efficient and, particularly at a more advanced age, frequently diseased region of the retina.
The macula is a small area located at the back portion of the retina. It is comprised of cones and functions in crisp 20/20 central vision. Diseases that affect this area can cause a decrease in vision. Disease processes such as macular degeneration, retinal detachments, diabetes, and hypertension can potentially cause blindness. Dilation allows your Today's Vision doctor the ability to inspect the macula more fully.
