Peripheral Visual Field

The area of vision that surrounds the direct line of sight, enabling one to see objects at the edges of their visual field.

Fovea

A small depression in the retina where visual acuity is highest due to the dense concentration of cones, responsible for sharp central vision.

Rods

Photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that function well in low light and are primarily responsible for black-and-white vision.
