The retina is the layer of tissue at the back of the eye where light images are changed into nerve signals that can be transmitted to the brain. At the heart of the retina lies the macula, a small region densely packed with light-collecting cells. Primarily responsible for color vision and detailed sight, the macula plays a crucial role in facilitating intricate visual activities such as reading.
