You can grasp the importance of the fovea centralis when you're reading a book or the text on a computer screen (as you're probably doing right now).

To see fine detail, we usually look directly at the object of study so that light falls onto the eye’s fovea centralis — the pit in the retina that is responsible for sharp vision.

The fovea centralis, or fovea for short, sits in the middle of the Macula lutea (or macula) of the retina, where the slender, funnel-like ocular cones are especially closely packed together.
