Foveal burn

A laser burn in the fovea, which can occur as an adverse event during retinal laser treatment.

Foveola

The center of the fovea is the foveola ? about 0.2 mm in diameter ? where only cone photoreceptors are present. The central fovea consists of very compact cones, thinner and more rod-like in appearance than cones elsewhere. Starting at the outskirts of the fovea, however, rods gradually appear, and the absolute density of cone receptors progressively decreases.
