When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

tunnel vision
(this is figurative; I think Ursula's answer is the best for a medical context)
HTH!

Tom Funke
: tunnel vision also applies literally to specific (neuropsychiatric) medical conditions

yes but I didn't feel the context was specific enough to suggest it in a medical context - maybe (I'm) too nitpicky! :-)

Here is some information that may help you:
visual field = The area in which objects can be seen when the eyes are fixed on a central point. It is generally circular in shape.
The visual field includes both the peripheral vision (the extremes of vision to the left, right, up, and down while the eyes are focusing straight ahead) and the central vision.
