The area in space that is visible to the eye is called:

  1. Bulbar conjunctiva

  2. Cornea

  3. Fundus

  4. Visual field

The correct answer is: Visual field

The visual field is the term used to describe the portion of space that is visible to the eye. The other options listed are incorrect because they refer to specific parts of the eye, rather than the space that is visible to the eye. The bulbar conjunctiva is the clear membrane that covers the front of the eye. The cornea is the transparent outer covering of the eye. The fundus is the inner lining of the eye that contains the retina and blood vessels. While these are all important parts of the eye, none of them refer to the visible area in space that can be seen by the eye. Therefore, the correct answer is the visual field.
