The macula lutea (MACK-you-lah LOO-tee-ah) is a clearly defined yellow area in the center of the retina (macula means spot and lutea means yellow). This is the area of sharpest central vision.
The fovea centralis (FOH-vee-ah sen-TRAH-lis) is a pit in the middle of the macula lutea. Color vision is best in this area because it contains a high concentration of cones.
