látókép

Látókép is a Hungarian term that broadly translates to "field of vision" or "visual field." It refers to the entire area that an individual can see at any given moment without moving their eyes or head. This encompasses everything from the central, sharpest part of vision to the peripheral areas that are less detailed.

The human visual field is not uniform. It is typically divided into central vision, which is responsible for detailed tasks like reading and recognizing faces, and peripheral vision, which is more sensitive to motion and helps with navigation and spatial awareness. The extent of the visual field can be measured and is an important aspect of ophthalmological examinations.

Conditions that affect the visual field can indicate underlying neurological or ocular health issues. For example, glaucoma can cause progressive loss of peripheral vision, while a stroke might lead to a specific blind spot or hemianopia, affecting half of the visual field. Understanding one's visual field is crucial for everyday activities and for diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions.
