Solution

An adult human eye consists of three layers. The outermost sclera, the middle choroid and the innermost retina.
Fovea centralis, present at the back of the retina, is the portion where only the cones are densely packed and no rods are found. As a result, fovea has the greatest resolution and sharpest vision.
