It is also very tiny‚ having a diameter equal to the diameter of lead in a pencil. The macula has to be this small for sensing and operating properly without overloading the brain. Its extreme sensitivity allows it to rapidly communicate a large

Your guide says: Light enters the eyes through your pupils‚ and is focussed on the back of the eye‚ called the retina.
