| A:
The macula is in the center of the retina,
the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back
of the eye. As you read, light is focused onto
your macula. There, millions of cells change the
light into nerve signals that tell the brain what
you are seeing. This is called your central vision.
With it, you are able to read, drive, and perform
other activities that require fine, sharp, straight-ahead
vision.
