[edit] Comments

There is no mention that a small slice of peripheral vision functions subliminally to detect "threat movement" and triggers peripheral vision reflexes.

Far peripheral vision is monocular vision so that each eye sees a different field.

I think the last comment may be related to what I was thinking... isn't peripheral vision associated with the peripheral nervous system? It seems I've read this elsewhere but the relationship isn't mentioned in either article. Paxfeline 07:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC) hi!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peripheral vision is not associated with the peripheral nervous system. It is part of the central nervous system. 50% of the nerve fibers of the optic nerve connect the peripheral system of the human eye with the visual cortex. The other 50% are used for foveal vision.--Hans-Werner34 (talk) 15:14, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
