Description

A visual field test measures your peripheral vision, or how well you can see above, below and to the sides of something you’re looking at. It’s also called a perimetry test. Visual field testing is important for many conditions, including glaucoma.A visual field test is a simple and painless test an eye care provider gives you to diagnose or monitor various eye conditions. A visual field test measures two things: 1. How far up, down, left and right your eye sees without moving (when you’re looking straight ahead). 2. How sensitive your vision is in different parts of the visual field, which is the name for the entire area that you can see. At our clinic we use the light-weight head-mounted device which allows a high degree of flexibility in patient position. They can even take the test reclined. This is particularly advantageous for aging and differently abled patients. The Advanced Vision Analyzer also generates a patient-friendly version of the report that helps us explain the diagnosis better.
