What is the fovea in an eye made up of?

The fovea is a small, central pit in the retina of the eye, primarily composed of cone photoreceptor cells, which are responsible for high-acuity vision and color perception. Unlike other areas of the retina, the fovea has a high concentration of these cones and very few rods, allowing for sharp vision in bright light conditions. The foveal region is also characterized by a thin layer of retinal cells, reducing light scattering for optimal visual clarity.
