I'm not entirely sure how accurate this is, as I'm just speaking from experience, but I only have a little peripheral vision in my left eye. When I close my right eye, there's a large dark spot (like what you see when you close your eyes) right in the center of my vision that "follows" my eye. If I look to the left, the dark spot goes to the left. I can see around the dark spot, but I can't focus on anything I see - just like peripheral vision. This is because if I try to look directly at something, the dark spot is in the way. For example, if I have a book sitting directly in front of me, and I close my "good" eye, I can only see the parts of the book that would be in my peripheral vision, and I can't read anything on it.
I imagine if someone's unfortunate enough to have this condition in both eyes, that would be basically what they see. I hope this answered your question, or at least gave you some insight (pun not intended...)!

What is peripheral visions?
Peripheral vision is being able to look forward and see the sides at the same time. Look directly at your computer screen. Can you still see what's going on around you, to the left and right of your head? That's peripheral vision.
What vision do you see on the side?
Peripheral vision (the part of vision that occurs outside the very center of gaze).
What is the average angle of a humans peripheral vision?
The average angle of a human's peripheral vision is around 120-130 degrees horizontally and 40-60 degrees vertically. This allows us to detect movement and objects outside of our central focus without having to turn our heads.
Can cats see straight?
better than humans with 20/20 vision, plus peripheral vision. yes!
How doc the function of the rods and cones differ?
Rods can only see in black and white, aka low light conditions. They also provide us with our peripheral vision. Cones allow us to see colors and give us our daytime vision.
Why do you not see color at the periphery of your vision?
cones and rods make up your eyes. cones allow you to see colors, while rods allow you to see black and white. there are no cones in the spot where you have peripheral vision.
What is the adaptive advantage of having peripheral vision?
Peripheral vision allows you to see more than what is right in front of you. Therefor, if a predator is trying to sneak up on you, then you will be more likely to notice it if you have peripheral vision, because the animal certainly won't come up right in front of you. So the adaptive advantage is primarily in avoiding danger, such as a predatory animal.
What is the difference between direct and indirect vision in science?
Direct vision is your central vision. It refers to how and what you see when looking straight at an object. Indirect vision refers to your peripheral vision, which means the things you see "out of the corner of your eye" or off to the side while you are looking directly ahead.
