Name the characteristics of central and peripheral vision and describe the roles of each. Give an example of each vision used in our day-to-day lives. Explain how the retina contributes to the perception of spatial location.
What type of vision uses the central and peripheral visual fields?
The monocular visual field consists of central vision, which includes the inner 30 degrees of vision and central fixation, and the peripheral visual field, which extends 100 degrees laterally, 60 degrees medially, 60 degrees upward, and 75 degrees downward (Figure 116.1) A vertical line bisects central fixation and …
What characterizes the peripheral visual field?
Peripheral vision, or indirect vision, is vision as it occurs outside the point of fixation, i.e. away from the center of gaze or, when viewed at large angles, in (or out of) the “corner of one’s eye”. The vast majority of the area in the visual field is included in the notion of peripheral vision.
