If eyeballs are round how can you see thing from the corner of your eye?
Answers:
you have many muscles in your eyes and they can rotate your eye -ball = up / down/ left / and right .
you are only really conscious of this
when you are asked,to look in specific directions , (opticians)
without moving your head .
Mostly you can watch what is around you
without realising you are moving your eyes .
your peripheral vision ( corner of the eye)
is limited
but you can detect movement ,
which may make you ,turn your head for a better look
at what is there .

because your eye lid isn't round and that stops you from spinning your eyeballs round
Because the saying isn't "from the corner of you eve ball" it is just "from the corner of your EYE". Most people's eyes are elliptically shaped thus they have corners.
its something to do with the shape of the inner eye, but I can,t remember wich part, but hope that this will help you to solve your problem.
The earth is not flatten....still you are standing on it.how?
The distinction is between round and spherical.
Our pupils are indeed round, but not spherical.
Can you even imagine what it would be like to see in all directions simultaneously?
it's a use of language because there is an inadequate term for a point on the periphery/circumference of a spherical object. "corner" is used more frequently and is easier understood by human beings, since in vision or circles picking a specific point and haivng it immediately understood where it is has problems. Finally though our vision is quite wide things such as ceilings and floors and blocky structures makes us easily understand our vision have limits and corners.
Certainylu didn't think i could give such a long answer to a simple play-on-words question filler :)
Your eyelid has two corners as your "eye" is almond shaped.
Your eyeball is round and held in place behind the eyelid by fluid and tendons.
Also just a bit of trivia - your eyes stay the same size from birth.
Because eyelids are not round so they have corners! The pupils have movement in area that is exposed by not being covered by the eyelids.
The retina (back of the eyeball) is also round. This is the part that catches the light and gives you your vision.
eye balls are bulbous (spelt wrong I'm sure) so it make it easier to see out of the corners
It's called peripheral vision.Also you have to move your eyes to see out of the corner really well.
Your field of vision is like the 16:9 widescreen tvs and therefore is long and flat .. so can have corners.
I believe that this saying evolved after the advent of television, when many people developed square eyes from excessive viewing.
because your eye is rounded and not flat
Peripheral vision.
Women have better peripheral vision than men. This is one of the contributing factors to them getting cheaper car insurance.
its the corner of your eyelid really isnt it. and whoever says eyeballs arent round and thats why you cant spin em round in your head, thats not right! you cant spin em round cos they have nerves and things attached at the back
because although the eyes are round, there is a concave lens which gives the eye a V shaped vision - thus you can see from the corner
Tis the corner of the skin covering your eyeball
hehe! You have eyeballs which move!!! And there is also much flesh inside.
U need to use your logic man!
because your eyes are not perfectly round
The simple answer is that you cannot - there is no corner, and seeing 'out of the corner of your eye' is just a saying. However, what you are referring to is known as peripheral vision. The 'periphery' of something is 'around its edges'. Hence from the multitude of images picked up by the eye, you see things 'in the corner'.
the corner or edge of the eye is bent therefor it is called the corner.
It's not the 'corner' of your eye that you see from. It's called peripheral vision and is the result of lower density of light receiving cells on the outer edges of the reitna. Also beyond this are different types of receptor cells which are poor at detecting colour but great for night vision. This means you can 'see' things which you're not directly looking at but you may need to focus your gaze on them to work out their details.
you eyes are convex on the outside, you can`t see the inside of your head right. if they were flat you could only see directly in front of you
cut n paste from link, good diagrams here too that will expalin.
It is because of the differences in our eyes between the two types of light receptors in our eyes called rods and cones and where they are.
Rods, which can only detect differences between light and dark, are much more sensitive to light than the cones, which detect colour. When you look directly at something light from that object falls on an area predominately made up of the less sensitive cones. If you look slightly to one side of something faint, it can be seen much better because the light from the object falls on areas of the retina that have many more rods
at the back of eye there is a layer called the retina and in the middle of this is a small area called the Fovea Centralis. Effectively this area is where light will strike if you are looking directly ahead. Any light coming from anything you do not look at directly or is seen out of the corner of your eye will fall on to the retina either side of the Forvea
because the eye itself isn't round, so there are corners to see out of.
You don't. you see them in the corner of the area of vision.
mark get out more I feel for you
I'd be less worried about how you can see something 'out the corner of your eye' and more worried about someone seeing what you are doing from the eye in the back of their head!
