Description:
Anatomy of the fovea. At the exact center of the retina is a point where light is focused by the lens and the greatest visual acuity is found. This is known as the fovea and it is a small dimple in the layers of the retina where there are no blood vessels, ganglion cells or bipolar cells to interrupt light reaching the receptor cells. Because more light passes to the receptor cells at the fovea, it is in this region that visual acuity is the greatest. English labels.
