State
The fovea is the small central region of the retina packed with cones, where visual acuity is highest.
Show
Only the few words at the center of gaze are sharp; the rest of the line is markedly blurrier.
Watch for
The sharp visual field is far smaller than it feels. Eye movements build the impression of a detailed scene.
