macula macula lutea. An oval area of the retina 3-5 mm in diameter, with the foveal depression at its centre, slightly below the level of the optic disc and temporal to it (its centre lies 3.5 mm from the edge of the disc).

Eye health guide • The conjunctiva (a thin layer of tissue covering the front of the eye, except the cornea). Just behind the iris and pupil lies the lens, which helps to focus light on the back of the eye. Most of the eye is filled with a clear gel called the vitreous. Light projects through the pupil and the lens to the back of the eye. The inside lining of the eye is covered by special light-sensing cells that are collectively called the retina. The retina converts light into electrical impulses. Behind the eye, the optic nerve carries these impulses to the brain. The macula is a small extra-sensitive area within the retina that gives central vision. It is located in the center of the retina and contains the fovea, a small depression or pit at the center of the macula that gives the clearest vision.

- The retina is a light-sensitive area in the back of the eye that includes the macula, which is made up of light-sensitive cells that provide us with sharp, detailed vision. In a healthy eye, images are focused onto the retina and then converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing. The vitreous body of the eye is a clear gel that fills the space between the retina and the lens.

Macular Hole Macular Hole Defined. A macular hole is a small break in the macula, located in the center of the eye’s light-sensitive tissue called the retina. The macula provides the sharp, central vision we need for reading, driving, and seeing fine detail. A macular hole can cause blurred and distorted central vision.

What is macular pucker or epiretinal membrane? What is a macular pucker? A macular pucker is scar tissue that has formed on the eye’s macula, located in the center of the light-sensitive tissue called the retina. The macula provides the sharp, central vision we need for reading, driving, and seeing fine detail. A macular pucker can cause blurred and distorted central vision.

- The gaze is into the camera, so in each picture the macula is in the center of the image, and the optic disk is located towards the nose. The macula or macula lutea (from Latin macula, spot + lutea, yellow) is an oval-shaped pigmented area near the center of the retina of the human eye. It has a diameter of around 5.5 mm (0.22 in). The macula is subdivided into the umbo, foveola, foveal avascular zone (FAZ), fovea, parafovea, and perifovea areas.

Optic Disc & Optic Nerve Nervous Layer. The optic disc is a round area in the back of the eye where retinal nerve fibers collect to form the optic nerve. The optic disc is sometimes called the optic nerve head because it is the head of the optic nerve as it enters the eye from the brain. It is located slightly to the nasal side of the globe.he optic disc: 1  Is the collection point of the nerve fiber layer as it exits the eye. 2  Is where the nerve fiber layer becomes the optic nerve. 3  Is where the central retinal artery enters the retina. 4  Is where the central retinal vein exits the retina.

optic disc the small blind spot on the surface of the retina, located about 3 mm to the nasal side of the macula. It is the point where the fibers of the retina leave the eye and become part of the optic nerve. It is the only part of the retina that is insensitive to light.

- An ophthalmologist looking into the eye would see something like this photograph of a normal retina. The large pale circle is the optic disc; here arteries enter and (darker) veins leave the retina. The darker red pigmented area to the extreme right is the macula; in the center of this region, not shown, is the fovea.

Macular Disorders Examination of the macula. 1  Ophthalmoscopy - the macula is visible as a dark circular patch between the vascular arches, the fovea being about 1 disc diameter lateral to the disc itself. The foveola is usually seen as a bright pinpoint yellow reflex at the centre of the macula.

Eye health guide The eye is a slightly asymmetrical globe, about an inch in diameter. Just behind the iris and pupil lies the lens, which helps to focus light on the back of the eye.

The inside lining of the eye is covered by special light-sensing cells that are collectively called the retina. The retina converts light into electrical impulses.

Eye color is created by the amount and type of pigment in the iris.

Macula of saccule The vestibule is a region of the inner ear which contains the saccule and the utricle, each of which contain a macula to detect linear acceleration. The macula of saccule lies in a nearly vertical position. Its function is to detect vertical linear acceleration. It is a 2 mm by 3mm patch of hair cells. Each hair cell of the macula contains 40 to 70 stereocilia and one true cilia, called a kinocilium.

Eye Nervous tissue in the retina is connected to the brain through the optic nerve, which passes through a hole in the choroid and sclera in the posterior of the eye. Where the optic nerve forms there are no photoreceptors, resulting in a blind spot known as the optic disk.

Secondary PTSD - An Overview However, in the language of DSM-IV, the traumatic event is the discovery that a loved one has been in a trauma. This still differs from the experience of interacting with that trauma survivor. It is within the domain of interacting with someone affected by trauma that the concept of secondary stress remains applicable.

- What is macular edema? Macular edema is the build-up of fluid in the macula, an area in the center of the retina. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye and the macula is the part of the retina responsible for sharp, straight-ahead vision. Fluid buildup causes the macula to swell and thicken, which distorts vision.

- MACULA is a yellow spot on the retina at the back of the eye which surrounds the fovea. This is the area with the greatest concentration of cone cells, and when the eye is directed at an object, the part of the image that is focused on the fovea is the image most accurately registered by the brain.

- These are the most confusing and also the most worrisome. Drusen in the macula can be NORMAL and do NOT necessarily mean you have or will develop macular degeneration. Those lesions located within the macula are worrisome due to the association with macular degeneration, or ARMD. There are two types: hard and soft.

Surgeons Offer New Treatment For Degenerative Eye Disease The dry type may set the stage for the less common but more severe wet form in which blood vessels and scar tissue begin to grow abnormally beneath the retina, leading to permanent damage of the macula. The macula is located at the center of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. The retina converts light, or images, into nerve impulses that are carried to the brain via the optic nerve. People with AMD may gradually lose their central vision, which can seriously impact their quality of life.

Optic nerve: The optic nerve is the largest sensory nerve of the eye. It. carries impulses for sight from the retina to the brain. Pupil: The pupil is the opening at the center of the iris. The iris adjusts the size. of the pupil and controls the amount of light that can enter the eye.

Simple Anatomy of the Retina by Helga Kolb CLICK HERE to see an animation (from the iris to the retina) (Quicktime movie). A circular field of approximately 6 mm around the fovea is considered the central retina while beyond this is peripheral retina stretching to the ora serrata, 21 mm from the center of the retina (fovea). The total retina is a circular disc of between 30 and 40 mm in diameter (Polyak, 1941; Van Buren, 1963; Kolb, 1991).
