Talk:Foveal

Merge[edit]

I think is better to merge this article to Fovea centralis, so it will integrate each other.Gsarwa (talk) 15:06, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete[edit]

This article should be deleted. There's not enough here to be worth salvaging. "Foveal" is an adjective, not an encyclopedia topic. "Foveal system" would be a legitimate topic. This article reads like a personal essay, a paean to Leonardo da Vinci. It is riddled with errors that no one has bothered fixing, probably because it's not worth it. For example, when reading average-size text as in a book or newspaper, people actually rely on the foveola (the central part of the fovea) to distinguish one letter of the alphabet from another. While the foveola in young adults has about 20/15 vision, in the outer fovea it's only 20/30. (On your 50th birthday, 20/20 vision in the foveola becomes the new normal, in the same way that having a colonoscopy every 10 years becomes the new normal.) Also, the optical axis of the eye is inclined 5 degrees relative to the line of sight. Schematic diagrams typically show another line called the fixation line intersecting the line of sight at a 5-degree angle at the nodal point (somewhat inside the lens). When this article was created in 2007 it may have been within the range of Wikipedia standards, but not any more. Zyxwv99 (talk) 15:04, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's definitely a mess. The title is an adjective, as you say... Malick78 (talk) 20:07, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Name of the area we can see sharp and average human size of this area?[edit]

Isn't the foveal vision the area we can see sharp and average human size of this area? When i put my finger at reading distance, I don't have to move my eye to see the whole width of my finger sharp; I guess I can see sharp about 1.5 cm2? ThySvenAERTS (talk) 04:13, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirected[edit]

I didn't see anything important to merge, so just redirected Foveal to Fovea centralis. If anyone wants to recover any nuggets, please go ahead and do so. Dicklyon (talk) 04:52, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
