  2. Line of sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_sight

    Line-of-sight range; Line-of-sight (missile), the straight line between the missile and the target; Radar horizon; Line-of-sight propagation, electro-magnetic waves travelling in a straight line Non-line-of-sight propagation; Line-of-sight velocity, an object's speed straight towards or away from an observer

  3. Peripheral vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_vision

    Classical image of the shape and size of the visual field [28]. The outer boundaries of peripheral vision correspond to the boundaries of the visual field as a whole. For a single eye, the extent of the visual field can be (roughly) defined in terms of four angles, each measured from the fixation point, i.e., the point at which one's gaze is directed.

  4. Visual field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_field

    Tubular vision: Since macular fibers are the most resistant to glaucomatous damage, central vision remains unaffected until the end stages of glaucoma. It results in tubular vision, or tunnel vision , by the loss of peripheral vision with retention of central vision, resulting in a constricted circular tunnel-like field of vision.

  5. Visual perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception

    The visible range of light is defined by what is readily perceptible to humans, thought the visual perception of non-humans often extends beyond the visual spectrum. The resulting perception is also known as vision, sight, or eyesight (adjectives visual, optical, and ocular, respectively).

  6. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    When refractive errors in children are not treated, the child may be at risk of developing ambylopia, where vision may remain permanently blurry. [33] Because young children typically do not complain of blurry vision, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children have yearly vision screening starting at three years old so that unknown refractive errors or other ophthalmic ...

  7. Visual agnosia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_agnosia

    It is not due to a deficit in vision (acuity, visual field, and scanning), language, memory, or intellect. [1] While cortical blindness results from lesions to primary visual cortex, visual agnosia is often due to damage to more anterior cortex such as the posterior occipital and/or temporal lobe (s) in the brain. [2]

  8. Meridian (perimetry, visual field) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meridian_(perimetry...

    The vertical meridian runs from above the observer's line of sight, through the fixation point, and to below the observer's line of sight. Another way of thinking of the maximum visual field is to think of all of the retina that can be reached by light from the external environment. The visual field in this case is all of the external ...

  9. Tunnel vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_vision

    Given reading is a crucial skill to understand one's surrounding, e.g., reading directions in the airport, about 60% of patients mentioned reading difficulty as the reason for their referral to the low vision care, and reading problem is a major source of anxiety for Glaucoma patients with slower reading speed, more errors, and slower ...
