field of vision
What eyes encompass
Field of vision is the total area visible to the eye without moving the head or eyes—what you can see while looking straight ahead.
The term appears in medical contexts discussing peripheral vision loss, and in everyday speech: A truck entered my field of vision.
Also called field of view, especially for optical instruments.
