diminished peripheral vision affects her patients in which manner?


A. Decreased visual acuity
B. Decreased depth perception
C. Decreased ability to see at night
D. Decreased enjoyment in hobbies requiring fine detail - ANSWER - ANSWER:
B. Decreased depth perception

fine-detail hobbies, these changes are not due to diminished peripheral vision.
