  Let's assume the picture above represents all that can be seen by both eyes looking straight ahead, without moving.  The "normal" camera lens focal length captures the view seen in the middle, below, while wide angle and telephoto lenses capture views shown to the left and right, respectively.  Even though the camera viewing frame is cropped, the middle view captures the closest to what is actually seen.  
 
18 mm wide angle lens
