It is a good idea when flying at night to judge the flare based on your peripheral vision but to be honest I can't see the need when flying daytime VFR in VMC
Peripheral vision is one of the most critical elements in the landing. Especially with respect to judging height above the surface and sink rate.
That is why it is so hard to judge landing in a basic simulator which only has a single flat screen visual. get the same simulator with the visuals extended into the peripheral area and one gets a totally different perspective. This is an important aspect of modern simulator design and operation.
