The fovea is the central part of the retina where the cones are concentrated. The cones are responsible for color vision and visual acuity. The blindspot is the area where the optic nerve exits the eye and there are no receptors. The optic chiasm is the point at which the optic nerves from each eye cross over to the opposite side of the brain. The lens is a structure that helps to focus light onto the retina.
