'''Peripheral vision''', or ''indirect vision'', is [[visual perception|vision]] as it occurs outside the [[Fixation (visual)|point of fixation]], i.e. away from the center of gaze or, when viewed at large angles, in (or out of) the "corner of one's eye". The vast majority of the area in the [[visual field]] is included in the notion of peripheral vision. "Far peripheral" vision refers to the area at the edges of the visual field, "mid-peripheral" vision refers to medium eccentricities, and "near-peripheral", sometimes referred to as "para-central" vision, exists adjacent to the center of [[Fixation (visual)|gaze]].<ref name="StrasburgerRentschler2011" />
