What's the difference between fovea and vision?

Fovea


Definition:

  • (n.) A slight depression or pit; a fossa.

Example Sentences:

  • (13) The nature and size of a localized scotoma such as the type caused by a macular lesion was estimated by measuring spatial contrast sensitivity as a function of retinal area centered on the fovea.
  • (14) In divergent squint, the fovea competes with the much weaker nasal hemifield.
  • (15) The nonfreezable water content (bound water) showed a decreasing gradient along the optic axis from lens to fovea; an opposite trend than that found in bovine vitreus.
  • (16) ERGs recorded by this technique can be considered focal since (i) they show a sharp fall-off in amplitude when the stimulus is displaced from the fovea, and (ii) they are no longer recordable when the stimulus is centered on the optic disk or on a large macular scar.
  • (17) This was compared with MF at the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus and at striate cortex, revealing that the relative representation of the fovea increases substantially in both thalamus and cortex.
  • (18) The authors present and discuss the results obtained and suggest that photocoagulation of subretinal new vessels not involving the fovea can be worth performing.
  • (19) Their receptive fields were usually large, not restricted to the contralateral visual field and always included the fovea.
  • (20) We feel that tenuous attachments of the vitreous body to the fovea could exert traction on the vitreo-retinal interface or shrinkage of a fibrocellular membrane on the inner foveal surface could lead to the observations made by us.

Vision


Definition:

  • (v.) The act of seeing external objects; actual sight.
  • (v.) The faculty of seeing; sight; one of the five senses, by which colors and the physical qualities of external objects are appreciated as a result of the stimulating action of light on the sensitive retina, an expansion of the optic nerve.
  • (v.) That which is seen; an object of sight.
  • (v.) Especially, that which is seen otherwise than by the ordinary sight, or the rational eye; a supernatural, prophetic, or imaginary sight; an apparition; a phantom; a specter; as, the visions of Isaiah.
  • (v.) Hence, something unreal or imaginary; a creation of fancy.
  • (v. t.) To see in a vision; to dream.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Clinical signs of disease developed as early as 15 days after transition to the experimental diets and included impaired vision, decreased response to external stimuli, and abnormal gait.
  • (2) A total of 104 evaluable patients 20-90 years old treated by direct vision internal urethrotomy a.m. Sachse for urethral strictures reported retrospectively via a questionnaire their sexual potency before and after internal urethrotomy.
  • (3) In the present study, 125 oesophageal biopsies obtained under direct vision at endoscopy from 22 patients with Barrett's oesophagus were systematically studied using fluorescence and peroxidase antiperoxidase single and double-staining immunocytochemical methods employing highly specific antibodies to localize the following peptide-containing cell types in Barrett's mucosa: gastrin, somatostatin, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, motilin, neurotensin and pancreatic glucagon.
  • (4) At this threshold there was no effect on reducing the rate of visual acuity overreferrals, but ten children with abnormal binocular vision were detected who were not referred by visual acuity criteria.
