This small portion of photosensitive fabric is responsible for the clearest and most detailed vision, so it is used, for example, to read text, see road signs while driving and recognize faces.
The presence of a maculopathy is signaled by a deformation of the observed images (metamorphopsia) and by the sensation of the disappearance of an area of the visual field (negative scotoma); in the most serious cases, a real "black spot" is perceived. Damage to the macula also leads to an "altered vision of colors and contrast.
Some forms of maculopathy are mild and hardly affect vision completely; others are serious and can cause loss of central visual function in one or both eyes.
the Macula?The macula is responsible for central vision, that is, it allows us to focus our gaze at the center of the visual field, straight in front of us.
Compared to the rest of the retina, the macula is the most sensitive area in clearly distinguishing details, so it allows, for example, to thread the thread into the eye of the needle, read small print, recognize faces and see road signs during the guide.
As can be deduced, the distinct central vision is deficient in maculopathy, in a more or less significant way.
