Macula

The macula or macula lutea is an oval yellow spot near the center of the retina of the human eye. It has a diameter of about 1.5 millimetre. Near its center is the fovea, a small pit that contains the largest concentration of cone cells in the eye and is responsible for central vision. Whereas loss of peripheral vision may go unnoticed for some time, damage to the macula will result in loss of central vision, which is usually immediately obvious. The progressive destruction of the macula is a severe disease known as macular degeneration. ---- Macula Transfer is the name of the third solo album released by Tangerine Dream leader Edgar Froese in 1976. eye
