Everything about Peripheral vision
Area of one's field of vision outside of the point of fixation
Peripheral vision or indirect vision is vision as it occurs outside the point of fixation or, when viewed at large angles, in the "corner of one's eye". The vast majority of the area in the visual field is included in the notion of peripheral vision. "Far peripheral" vision refers to the area at the edges of the visual field, "mid-peripheral" vision refers to medium eccentricities, and "near-peripheral", sometimes referred to as "para-central", vision, exists adjacent to the center of gaze.
