Episode 46 – Physiology of the Macula and Fovea.

Welcome back to Basic Sciences in Ophthalmology.

Hi I am Dr Thomas Whitelaw and in this episode, we explore one of the most specialised regions of the human retina: the macula and fovea.These structures are responsible for the highest levels of visual acuity, colour discrimination, and fine central vision.

The remarkable physiology of the macula depends upon highly specialised anatomy, precise photoreceptor organisation, and complex metabolic support systems. Understanding macular physiology is essential not only forappreciating normal vision, but also for understanding major retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and macular oedema.

Today’s episode is divided into three sections:

1. Anatomy of the fovea

2. Macular pigment and function

3. Diseases of the macula
