Your eyes, when looking straight forward, can normally see an area comparable to a half-circle from left to right. The areas left and right of your direct line of vision in front of you are the areas of your 'peripheral vision'. If these are 'grossly intact' it's good news, 'grossly' meaning 'roughly speaking'.
