Visual Fields Insights

What is Visual Fields?

Visual fields refer to the total area that an individual can see when their eyes are fixed on a single point. Testing visual fields is commonly used in ophthalmology and neurology to detect blind spots (scotomas) and overall field loss, which can indicate various conditions like glaucoma, stroke, optic nerve damage, or brain tumors. Common methods for testing visual fields include perimetry and confrontation testing.
