This is your superior visual field. The visual field has an inverted and reversed relationship with the retina. The superior visual field maps onto the inferior retina and the inferior field maps onto the superior retina. The temporal field maps onto the nasal retina and the nasal field maps onto the temporal retina. The only exception to the rule is a small area in the very temporal aspect of your visual field called temporal crescents.
Temporal crescents are the only area in the entire visual field that is seen monocularly.
The most nasal part of the retina. The temporal crescents are received monocularly because the nose limits the visual field of the opposite eye. For this course, it is important to realize that the distribution of visual function is not uniform across the retina. The central field is viewed by a region in the retina called the macula. It is oriented in concentric zones that increase in sensitivity toward the center of the macula called the fovea.
