Peripheral Vision Test
Spot objects in periphery
What is the Peripheral Vision Test?
The Peripheral Vision Test measures the width of your usable visual field by asking you to detect objects appearing in your side vision while keeping your eyes fixed on a central point. Strong peripheral vision is linked to better driving safety, sports performance, and spatial awareness.
How to Use
- 1Fix your eyes on the central focal point — do not move your eyes or head
- 2Click or tap when you notice something appear in your peripheral vision
- 3The test gradually moves targets further from center to find your limit
- 4Your peripheral vision angle is displayed at the end
What is a Good Score?
Normal human peripheral vision spans about 100–110 degrees per eye (approximately 200 degrees total). Narrowing below 90 degrees may indicate tunnel vision. Athletes often train to use their full peripheral field.
Tips to Improve
- →Do not move your eyes — that defeats the test. True peripheral detection requires steady central fixation
- →Practice peripheral awareness with the "soft focus" technique: relax your gaze and let your vision expand
- →Regular peripheral training (e.g., sport activities like tennis or basketball) can improve attentional use of peripheral information
Frequently Asked Questions
What is normal peripheral vision range?
Normal peripheral vision is approximately 180–200 degrees total (both eyes). Each eye covers about 100–110 degrees. Visual field below 90 degrees is considered tunnel vision and should be evaluated by an eye doctor.
