Tunnle Vision.
A narrow field of vision typically refers to having limited peripheral vision, where objects outside the direct line of sight may be difficult to see. It can be caused by various eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, or retinitis pigmentosa, and may require medical attention to diagnose and manage effectively.
Peripheral Vision.
Central vision refers to when eyes are focused straight ahead. Peripheral vision refers to vision that occurs outside your central sight of vision. Fringe vision refers to the edge of your peripheral vision.
Direct vision typically encompasses a field of view of about 2 to 5 degrees. This narrow angle represents the area of sharpest vision where detail is most clearly perceived. Beyond this central zone, peripheral vision allows for a wider overall field of view, but with decreased clarity and detail.
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). It is not the same as your outermost vision, which could refer to what is at the edges of your peripheral vision.
A visual field test is typically performed to determine losses in peripheral vision. It involves staring at a fixed point while lights of varying intensity are shown in different areas of your peripheral vision, and you indicate when you see them. This helps to map out any blind spots or areas of reduced vision in your peripheral field.
Reducing the field of vision can occur due to various factors, such as eye conditions like glaucoma or cataracts, which can limit peripheral sight. Additionally, environmental factors, such as physical obstructions or specific visual tasks, can also narrow one's visual field. In some cases, certain neurological conditions can lead to a reduced field of vision as well. Overall, these reductions can impact daily activities and overall quality of life.
A narrow field of study within a larger field is often called a sub-discipline.

Direct vision ahead typically encompasses about 10 to 15 degrees of the driver's field of view. This narrow range allows drivers to focus on the area directly in front of them, which is crucial for tasks such as judging distances and detecting obstacles. However, the overall field of vision for a driver extends much wider, allowing for peripheral awareness of surrounding traffic and hazards.
