 find out. >>

The eye has a central part of our vision which is sharper than the rest.  We 
look at things to focus the image on this part of the retina and maximize the 
detail we see.  

The eye is also connected to a marvelous image processing computer with great 
software.  Many people believe they see the whole visual field in great 
detail, all the time.  In fact, the software stitches together sharp images 
of smaller fields into a bigger whole.
