The macula lutea is a small yellowish area near the center of the retina responsible for detailed central vision, the fovea centralis is a small pit in the center of the macula lutea responsible for sharp and detailed vision, the ora serrata is the jagged boundary between the retina and ciliary body, and the lens is the transparent structure behind the iris that helps to focus light onto the retina.
