[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5458204, member: 17"] For me, what is most important about deer vision is two things: 1) how dominated their eyes are with rods, which means they see movement exceptionally well. Every notice how we see movement out of the corner of our eyes so well? That's because, with human vision, our peripheral vision is dominated by rods (light and motion sensitive) while the center of our vision is dominated by cones (color sensitive). Deer eyes are loaded with rods everywhere, so they see primarily motion. 2) We humans have a "fovea" (the area of greatest clarity in our vision) that is a central point. That's why we see what we are looking directly at clearly, but that clarity fades away out into the peripheral vision. Deer have a fovea that is a stripe along the back of their eye instead of a point. This means they see clearly all the way across the horizon of their vision in a massively wide stripe. In essence, they can see clearly out to the edges of their field of view, unlike us, who can only see clearly directly in front of us. [/QUOTE]
