Which direction has the greatest monocular field extent?

Explanation:
In monocular vision, the widest field you can see with one eye while looking straight ahead is toward the temple. This direction has the least obstruction from facial anatomy, so the eye can perceive more of the peripheral scene there. The nasal side is limited by the nose, and the top and bottom extents are restricted by the eyelids and the bony orbit, making those directions narrower. So the temporal direction yields the greatest monocular field extent.
