Lorsque la vision périphérique (le pourtour du champ visuel) disparaît suite à une destruction des cellules rétiniennes appelées bâtonnets, le champ visuel se restreint et la vision se limite peu à peu à la vision centrale, comme si l'on regardait à travers un tube, d'où le nom de vision tubulaire.
