Everyone has a spot in their retina where the optic nerve connects. In this area, there are no light-sensitive cells so this part of your retina can't see. This is the blind spot. At the posterior pole of the eye lateral to the blind spot, there is a yellowish pigmented spot called macula lutea with a central pit called the fovea. The fovea is a thinned-out portion of the retina where only the cones are densely packed. It is the point where the visual acuity (resolution) is the greatest.
