What is another word for foveal?
Pronunciation: [fˈə͡ʊvə͡l] (IPA) 
Foveal is a term used in ophthalmology and refers to the area in the retina called the fovea. It is the central point of the retina with the highest concentration of cone cells, responsible for sharp vision. Synonyms for foveal include central, macular, or retinal fovea. Another term used to describe the foveal region is the "yellow spot," named after the yellow pigment found in the macula that filters out blue light wavelengths. The term fovea has its roots in Latin, where it means "pit" or "small depression," which aptly describes the sunken shape of this area of the retina.
