| In the centre of the retina there is a small concavity called the fovea centralis, containing only small, tightly packed cones. |
| Many birds possess besides this temporal fovea a second fovea nearer the nasal side. |
| The fovea centralis lacks rods and this part of the eye becomes practically color blind at very low intensities of light. |
| The fovea creates the most finely detailed vision for such daily tasks as reading, threading a needle, or driving a car. |
| The fovea centralis of the human retina is the seat of most acute vision, and in the fovea centralis there are no rods. |
| Multiple bodies associated with synovial chondromatosis often adhere to the synovium around the fovea and must be morseled before removal by arthroscopy. |
