Will I be able to see my nose and cheeks while looking down?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I was wondering if it is normal to see your nose and cheeks when you are looking down? And is it normal whem you turn your head left and right that you can see the corner of your nose? And when you blink is it normal to see black? And also when you look at a light color background is it normal to see black spots? I have anxiety, so I worry about things like this.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, all these things are normal and appreciated by all human beings with normal vision. Please do not be anxious.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you so much. I thought something was wrong. Is it normal that when I look all the way to my side I can see the upper corner of my nose? Like the bridge of my nose?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Our visual field is 50 degree up, 60 degree nose side, 70 degree down and 90 degree towards ear. So, we have wide visual field. We do not use full field for routine activities. We mainly use central 30 degree field. So now you can imagine, it is normal to see bridge of nose, etc.
