What's a Visual Field Test?
We promise it's not just the world's least fun video game! A visual field test measures your entire scope of vision, including your peripheral (side) vision. It's an essential part of an eye exam for many patients due to eye health issues. It detects problems and defects that might not affect your central vision.
Why Might You Need It?
- Glaucoma Detection: Identify early signs of glaucoma, which often affects peripheral vision first.
- Neurological Concerns: Detects issues related to brain health, such as strokes or tumors.
- Retinal Problems: Identifies diseases like retinal detachment or damage.
Regular visual field tests ensure your eyes and overall health are in top condition.
