1. peripheral vision

   Peripheral vision is the part of vision that occurs outside the very center of our gaze, to the side of our visual field. It is the ability to see objects and movement outside of the direct line of vision, also known as side vision or indirect vision. Although it is less precise and less sensitive to color than central vision, peripheral vision is more sensitive to motion and helps us to see and sense our surroundings without moving our eyes or head.

1. Peripheral vision

   Peripheral vision is a part of vision that occurs outside the very center of gaze. There is a broad set of non-central points in the field of view that is included in the notion of peripheral vision. "Far peripheral" vision exists at the edges of the field of view, "mid-peripheral" vision exists in the middle of the field of view, and "near-peripheral", sometimes referred to as "para-central" vision, exists adjacent to the center of gaze. The loss of peripheral vision while retaining central vision is known as tunnel vision, and the loss of central vision while retaining peripheral vision is known as central scotoma. Peripheral vision is weaker in humans, compared with other animals, especially at distinguishing color and shape. This is because receptor cells on the retina are greater at the center and lowest at the edges. In addition, there are two types of receptor cells, rod cells and cone cells; rod cells are unable to distinguish color and are predominant at the periphery, while cone cells are concentrated mostly in the center of the retina, the fovea. Flicker fusion threshold is higher for peripheral than foveal vision. Peripheral vision is good at detecting motion.

Examples of peripheral vision in a Sentence

1. Rick Carlisle:

   He’s in pain, it appeared to me he couldn't turn left, couldn't look to his left, couldn't turn his neck to the left. That's difficult for a guy that relies on peripheral vision and basically has played his whole life with his head on a swivel. His neck issue certainly contributed to a 9-for-24 night and him having some real unusual struggles.

2. Eric Tremblay:

   When magnified you lose a lot of your field of view, your peripheral vision.
