ANATOMY OF MACULA Macula lutea is a 5.5mm circular area deeper red than rest of the
fundus at the posterior pole of retina, lying inside the temporal vascular arcades, 2 disc diameters temporal to the optic disc.
• Other names: area centralis/ yellow spot/central retina.
• Subserves central 15 – 20 degrees of visual field.
• Photopic and color vision are primary functions of this area.
• Dark appearance is due to
difference in pigmentation
absence of retinal vessels in fovea

EMBRYOLOGY:
• Macula develops from the optic cup
Inner wall: Neurosnsory retina
Outer wall: RPE
• Development of retina starts by 6 weeks, all adult layers become recognisable by 5 ½ months.
• Macular development is delayed till 8 months and specialization
continues till several months after birth.
![Page 7: New Anatomy and Physiology of Macula.pptx](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544ca547b1af9fca498b47b8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Macula lutea can be divisible into
• Foveola• Fovea• Perifoveal region• Para foveal region

Fovea centralis Specially differentiated central 1.5mm of macula in width and 0.25
• It is the most sensitive part of macula and corresponds to 5 degree of visual field.
• Layers: RPE.photoreceptors,external limiting,outer nuclear and plexiform, ganglion cells, nerve fibre layer, internal limiting layer

Outer plexiform layer in macula is oblique (hence CME appears stellate in macula & Honeycomb appears outside macula)
Xanthophyll carotenoid pigments: Located in fovea, most probably in the outer plexiform layer.
- Leutin
- Zeaxanthin
responsible for the characteristic dark appearance of macula
in normal angiograms.

Umbo: • it’s a tiny depression in the centre of foveola.• corresponds to the ophthalmoscopically visible
foveal reflex.
Foveal reflex: intensely bright spot of light visible ophthalmoscopically visible due to reflexion of light from the wall of foveal depression.
Loss of FR maybe an early sign of damage.
Foveal avascular zone (FAZ) located inside the fovea but outside the foveola.
Extending about 0.4 – 0.6 mm in diameter, can be
known by FFA.
it varies with age and disease states.

PHYSIOLOGY OF MACULA
• Macula is the most sensitive part of retina.• Primary visual direction: occulocentric direction of an object fixated
along primary line of sight, and is imaged on the centre of fovea.
• Consists of mainly cones, hence has a major role to play in
- Photopic vision
- color vision
- shape sense

Photochemistry of vision• Visual pigments present in the photoreceptors have the property to
absorb light (visible portion of electromagnetic spectrum)• If a substace absorbs
– all wavelengths of light equally: grey/black
- all wavelengths except green : green appearance• Absorption maximum: peak of absorption curve of each pigment

Visual cortex VISUAL CORTEX: • Primary visual cortex:
Brodmann,s cortical area 17/ visual area I/ V-1/ striate cortex
• Secondary visual cortex:
visual association areas that lie anterior, superior and inferior to V-1.
secondary signals are transmitted in these areas for further analysis of visual meaning.
- Brodmann,s visual area 18. area II/ V-2
- Brodmann,s visual area 19/ visual area III/ V-3
• Striate cortex:

Color vision• Humans can distinguish 2 monochromatic lights as close as 2mm
apart, giving effective color palette of upto 300 distinct spectral colors.
• It’s a PERCEPTUAL phenomenon and is Subjective.
it depends on
– spectral component of light from the object
- spectral component of light from visual surroundings
- state of light adaptation of eye.
![Page 43: New Anatomy and Physiology of Macula.pptx](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544ca547b1af9fca498b47b8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
TRICHROMATIC THEORY: (Young Helmholtz theory) • Trichromacy results from physiology of retina and not a property of
light.• Color vision in humans is TRICHROMATIC due o 3 types of cones.
-erythrothrolabe/ LWS - 565nm
- chlorolabe/ MWS -535nm
- cyanolabe/SWS - 440nm
OPPONENT COLOR THEORY:
Some colors appear to be mutually exclusive, maybe due to subsequent neural processing beyond photoreceptors
![Page 44: New Anatomy and Physiology of Macula.pptx](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544ca547b1af9fca498b47b8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• PHOTOCHEMISTRY:
- the 3 different types of cones are bleached by lights of different wavelength.
- cone receptor potential has sharp onset and offset unlike rods. (sharp onset, slow offset)
• TRANSMISSION OF SIGNALS IN RETINA:
transmitted by electronic conduction to other cells in retina via photoreceptor synapses.
IN HORIZONTAL CELLS:
-luminosity response: hyperpolarisation response with broad spectral functions.
-chromatic response: hyperpolarisation to part
of spectrum & depolarisation for the remainder.
![Page 45: New Anatomy and Physiology of Macula.pptx](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544ca547b1af9fca498b47b8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• IN GANGLION CELLS:
- all 3 types of cones stimulate same ganglion cell resultant signal is white.
- Opponent color cell: some ganglion cells are excited by one color type of cone and inhibited by othe color types.
- Double opponent color cell:
response is on for 1 color in the centre and off for it in the surrounding.and response maybe off for 2nd color in the centre and on in the surrounding.
* this suggest that process of color analysis begins in retina.

DISTRIBUTION:
- trichomatic color vision exists 20-300 from the point of fixation.
-peripheral to it red & green become indistinguishable.
- in far periphery color sense is lost.
-very centre of fovea is blue blind.
![Page 47: New Anatomy and Physiology of Macula.pptx](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544ca547b1af9fca498b47b8/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Phenomenon associated with color sense• Simultaneous color contrast:
perception of particular coloured spot against coloured background.
eg: grey spot appears green in red background, red in green background(complementary colors)
• Successive color contrast:
-phenomenon of colored after images.(opponent cell system)
-one sees a green spot for long and then looks at a grey card, he sees a red dot.
• Color constancy:
eye continues to percieve the color of the object unchanged even after spectral composition of light falling is altered.

LIGHT ADAPTATION• Ability of the visual system to function normally over an exceedingly
wide range of illumination – visual adaptation• Light adaptation: process in which retina adapts itself to bright light
• MECHANISM:
Photochemical adaptation:
-large proportion of photochemical is reduced to retinals and opsins.
- retinal in both rods and cones is further converted to vitaminA
- rod sensitivity decreases, threshold increases
- cones continue to adapt and respond to bright light
Neural adaptation:
- horizontal cells give negative feedback
- pupillary constriction

SUMMARY
• Macula is the most sensitive part of retina,subserving central 15-200 of vision
• Develops from optic cup.• Primarily contributes to
-photopic vision
- color vision - trichomatic
-Shape sense,
- light adaptation.
• Vision: photochemical changes in photoreceptors conducted to cells in the retina and then to the optic tract and finally to striate cortex.
