corner of the eye
Side glance zone
The corner of the eye is the outer edge of one's field of vision, where something can be glimpsed without looking directly at it: I caught movement in the corner of my eye.
The phrase often suggests peripheral awareness—noticing something without full attention, or watching someone discreetly: She kept him in the corner of her eye.
