    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Diseases

    Background:

    • The fovea is a small central area of the retina responsible for sharpest vision.
    • Several distinct pathologies are confined solely to the fovea.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss diseases limited to the fovea.
    • To aid in the diagnosis, management, and prophylaxis of these conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of literature on foveal pathologies.
    • Discussion of clinical presentations and diagnostic criteria.

    Main Results:

    • Foveal cyst/hole, pseudovitelliform maculopathy, solar maculopathy, and surgical microscope illumination-induced retinal burns are discussed.
    • Key features for differentiating these conditions are highlighted.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management of foveal diseases.
    • Preventive measures can be implemented for certain iatrogenic retinal injuries.
