Fovea of the Eye: Function, Anatomy & Conditions That Damage It
...Foveal vision covers only the central two degrees of your visual field, about twice as wide as your thumbnail held at arm's length. Everything outside that narrow cone is peripheral vision, which is fast, motion-sensitive, and far less detailed....

Fovea Centralis - All About Vision
...Fovea definition The fovea is a tiny part of the eye?s anatomy that makes a significant difference in our eyesight. Resting inside the macula, the fovea (also called fovea centralis) provides our sharpest vision. The name fovea comes from the Greek word meaning ?small pit.? This is an appropriate name, as the fovea is a tiny depression (or pit) in the macula, a small structure located in ......

Foveal vision: Current Biology - Cell Press
...Why does the foveal pit form? It seems plausible that the foveal pit evolved for optical reasons: in most lens eyes, the photoreceptors must ?view the world? through the inner retinal layers, as they sit at the very distal end of the retina....
