How to use "Peripheral" in context?
Peripheral vision is the ability to see things that are not directly in front of your eyes. It is often compared to "sight beyond sight," as you can see things that are not directly in front of you but off to your side or even behind you. Peripheral vision plays a critical role in keeping you safe, as it allows you to see potential dangers ahead of time. The peripheral field of view is also broad and includes things that are not in the center of your visual field.
While peripheral vision is necessary for overall safety, certain activities can actually cause damage to your vision if done incorrectly.
