Γραμμή 8:
The progressive destruction of the macula is a severe [[disease]] known as [[macular degeneration]].
Visual input to the macula occupies a substantial portion of the brain's visual capacity. As a result, some forms of [[Visual field#Visual field loss|visual field loss]] can occur without involving the macula; this is termed '''macular sparing'''. (For example, [[visual field testing]] might demonstrate ''[[homonymous hemianopsia]] with macular sparing''.) This finding can be very informative for the [[ophthalmologist]].
