The "Yellow Spot," also known as the fovea centralis, is a small area located in the center of the retina in the human eye. It is responsible for sharp central vision, which is crucial for activities like reading and recognizing faces. The yellow color comes from the presence of carotenoid pigments, which help protect the eye from harmful light. This area contains a high concentration of photoreceptor cells, specifically cones, which are sensitive to bright light and color. The yellow spot plays a vital role in visual acuity, allowing us to see fine details clearly. Damage to this area can lead to vision problems, such as macular degeneration.
