You may find that you could see things at blurry vision which is also conclude the peripheral vision. The central points in the field of view will be affected too. People have weak peripheral vision to distinguish the objects in color and shape because of the receptor cells on the retina which is more at the center and less at the edges. However the animals' situation is totally different from that of people. You should go to see the doctor to treat the trauma eye which could improve your peripheral vision.
