Definition of Macula
Macula definition - medical term
A macula is a small spot. A macula on the skin is a small flat
spot while the macula in the eye is a small spot where vision is keenest in the
retina.
The macula of the retina, the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of
the eye, is the best known macula. It is in the center of the retina. As we read,
light is focused onto our macula where millions of cells change the light into nerve
signals that tell the brain what we are seeing.
This is called central vision thanks to which we are able to read, drive, and
perform other activities that require fine, sharp, straight-ahead vision. If the
macula begins to degenerate, central visions begins to go.
