 Oh, and Babs, you were previously discussing "the corner of the eye" concept. 

Well, we know that "what we see", may not be what is going on.  In that mindset, here's another visual illusion.   What you will see is a circle of pink dots (see below).  One of the dots is more pronounced than the others; and rotates along the circle.  At the center of the circle is a cross-target.  If you stare at the center cross-target, the pink-rotating dot will quickly become green.  The surrounding pink dots will begin to disappear. 

This illusion proves that "what we see is not what is really there"; or otherwise.  Our senses are amazing, yet far from perfect.  Not to mention the psychological reception we receive from our senses.  This is a psychological demonstration; really has nothing to do with eyesight!
