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...)!

Field vision refers to the full extent of what a person can see without moving their eyes. It includes both central vision (what you see directly in front of you) and peripheral vision (what you can see out of the corners of your eyes).

Why do I see light in my peripheral vision?

Seeing light in your peripheral vision can be caused by the way your eyes are designed. The cells in your retina that detect light are more sensitive at the edges, so you may notice light more easily in your peripheral vision.


Is it true that peripheral vision is the sharpness of your eyesight that is very important in driving a vehicle?

Peripheral vision refers to our ability to see objects and movement outside of our direct line of sight. While it is important for driving to be able to detect objects and movement in our peripheral vision, our central vision is typically responsible for sharpness and detail. Both peripheral and central vision are important for safe driving.

What does Peripheral vision grossly intact mean?

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'.
