How do you know if you have scotoma?

A scotoma is a partial loss of vision or a blind spot in an otherwise normal visual field. You may notice it if you have difficulty seeing certain areas in your visual field, experience blurred vision, or if objects seem to be missing in your line of sight. An eye examination, often involving visual field tests conducted by an eye care professional, can confirm the presence of a scotoma. If you suspect you have one, it's important to consult an eye specialist for a thorough evaluation.


What is scoptoma?

It's a phenomenon when the eyes see what the mind believes. Evidently, "scoptoma" is a misuse of the word "scotoma," a word used in medicine for a condition that causes visual blind spots, and in psychology to describe a mental blind spot -- the inability to understand or perceive some matters. There is no linguistic authority, such as a reputable dictionary, medical or otherwise, that identifies or defines the word "scoptoma."
