We just learned about the Field of View.
Another part of the eye is Peripheral Vision.
When you are looking straight ahead at something, you can still see things a little bit that are on the left and right sides of your head.
The word "peripheral" means on the outside or on the edge of something.
So peripheral vision is looking at things that are on the outside edge of what you are seeing.
