That's the term the optician used when fitting me for the progressive lenses -- I meant to write about this in the post on the new spectacles (http://snugpug.blogspot.com/search?q=all+the+better+to+see+you+with) but forgot.
Housewife vision was the term he used for wide-ranged peripheral vision, adding the analogy of a housewife who can instantly scan all of a room when she walks into it.
Oh boy. Talk about a male-centric definition. I would call this woman vision -- the natural ability to walk from point A to B and see that the puppy has left a puddle at point C, which is nowhere in relation to A and B.
As opposed to man vision that kicks in only when L walks into what the puppy has left at point D, and only when pointed out to him that he has tracked it to point E.
