This is because individuals tend to not notice vison loss at the peripherals compared to central vision as when an individual views an object they move their eyes and fixate on that object by using their central vison and not their peripheral. Visual acuity is highest at the fovea and lowest at the peripheral which ensures high visual acuity at fixation. A way to measure peripheral vision is the Humphrey perimetry test which assesses the vision field. Any reduction in peripheral vision can indicate the development of disease such as glaucoma or detect any blind spots, scotomas…
