Øjenfelter

Øjenfelter, also known as "eye fields" in English, refers to the area of vision that an individual perceives. This encompasses both the peripheral vision, which captures movement and broad shapes outside of direct focus, and the central or focal vision, responsible for detailed observation and color perception. The structure and function of the eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and brain's visual cortex, all contribute to the creation of these øjenfelter. Conditions affecting any part of this visual pathway can alter or diminish the øjenfelter, leading to symptoms like blind spots, tunnel vision, or a general reduction in visual awareness. Understanding øjenfelter is crucial in ophthalmology for diagnosing and managing various eye diseases and neurological conditions. The brain actively processes and interprets the visual information received from the eyes, constructing a coherent perception of the surrounding environment.
