The visual field test might seem a bit like a computer game but what does it actually do? 👁️
This test checks your field of vision, both your central and peripheral (side) vision, by measuring how well you can see without moving your eyes. As tiny lights appear in different areas, pressing the button tells us which ones you can see and which you can’t. The results create a detailed map of your vision, helping us identify any areas where sensitivity may be reduced.
It’s an important test for detecting and monitoring conditions such as glaucoma, as well as other problems affecting the retina, optic nerve or visual pathways🙌🏼
