Peripheral vision, or indirect vision, is vision as it occurs outside the point of fixation, i.e. away from the center of gaze or, when viewed at large angles, in 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 gaze.

परिधीय दृष्टि दृश्य बोध का वह भाग है जो आँखों के सीधा आगे नहीं बल्कि वे जहाँ ताक रहीं हों उसके किनारों पर प्रयोग होता है। इसे अक्सर "समीपी परिधीय" (near-peripheral), "मध्य परिधीय" (mid-peripheral) और "दूर परिधीय" में बांटा जाता है।
