A unique feature of the central fovea is the displacement of other retinal layers concentrically, which allows for the highly efficient packing of cones. This is well visualized on standard optical coherence tomography (OCT) that can characterize foveal thickness.

The human fovea is a depression in the inner retinal surface and has an extremely dense layer of cones. The fovea is employed for accurate vision in the direct where it is pointed. -Wikipedia

Compound eyes do not have a fovea in the human sense of the world, but they can have an acute-zone, which is its equivalent, and this is the region mantis shrimp are using when they fixate. Such active, inquisitive vision is very unusual in the animal kingdom, especially among invertebrates.

The fovea centralis is a small, central pit composed of closely packed cones in the eye. It is located in the center of the macula lutea of the retina.

# data[].attributes.body
The fovea is a depression in the inner retinal surface, about 1.5 mm wide, the photoreceptor layer of which is entirely cones and which is specialized for maximum visual acuity. Within the fovea is a region of 0.5mm diameter called the foveal avascular zone (an area without any blood vessels).

Fun fact The fovea is located in a small avascular zone and receives most of its oxygen from the vessels in the choroid, which is across the retinal pigment epithelium and Bruch's membrane.

In 2018 the anatomy of the foveola was reinvestigated, and it was discovered that outer segments from the central foveolar cones of monkeys are not straight and twice as long as those from the parafovea.

The fovea is located in a small avascular zone and receives most of its oxygen from the vessels in the choroid, which is across the retinal pigment epithelium and Bruch's membrane. The high spatial density of cones along with the absence of blood vessels at the fovea accounts for the high visual acuity capability at the fovea.[5]

# data[].attributes.body
The center of the fovea is the foveola – about 0.35 mm in diameter – or central pit where only cone photoreceptors are present and there are virtually no rods.[1] The central fovea consists of very compact cones, thinner and more rod-like in appearance than cones elsewhere. These cones are very densely packed (in a hexagonal pattern). Starting at the outskirts of the fovea, however, rods gradually appear, and the absolute density of cone receptors progressively decreases.

The fovea is a depression in the inner retinal surface, about 1.5 mm wide, the photoreceptor layer of which is entirely cones and which is specialized for maximum visual acuity. Within the fovea is a region of 0.5mm diameter called the foveal avascular zone (an area without any blood vessels). This allows the light to be sensed without any dispersion or loss. This anatomy is responsible for the depression in the center of the fovea. The foveal pit is surrounded by the foveal rim that contains the neurons displaced from the pit. This is the thickest part of the retina.[4]

Cats lack a fovea and instead have a visual streak in the center of their visual field, which is known as the area centralis.

# data[].attributes.body
The fovea has been demonstrated to be the single most sensitive part of the human retina. Thus, if the White Shark does have a visual streak, this species may be able to use this hyper-sensitive retinal region to extend its period of visual activity well into crepuscular (dawn and dusk) or nocturnal periods.

The actual fovea is about 1.5 mm in diameter and the central fovea consists of a foveal pit (umbo) that is a mere 0.15 mm across (Figure 2B). This foveal pit is almost devoid of all layers of the retina beneath the cone photoreceptors.

The fovea is responsible for sharp central vision (also called foveal vision), which is necessary in humans for activities for which visual detail is of primary importance, such as reading and driving.

Fovea is Latin for small pit, and it was identified as a characteristic of human retina by the late eighteenth century. 2. The foveal center or 'foveola' contains the highest density of cone photoreceptors in the retina. Cone photoreceptors function in bright light and support high acuity and color vision.
