Definition : An area approximately 1.5 millimeters in diameter within the macula lutea where the
retina thins out greatly because of the oblique shifting of all layers except the
pigment epithelium layer. It includes the sloping walls of the fovea (clivus) and
contains a few rods in its periphery. In its center (foveola) are the cones most adapted
to yield high visual acuity, each cone being connected to only one ganglion cell.
