Best Answer

It is a measure of how far away a given point in the visual field is from the fixation point (fovea). It is measured in degrees of retinal eccentricity.

Example: a retinal eccentricity of 30 means the point is located 30 degrees away from the fixation point. Bear in mind this point could be in any spatial location (up, down, left, right) but always 30 degrees away from the centre, i.e. forming a circle of possible locations.
