Visual field tests (perimetry) can detect blind spots in a patient's field of vision before the patient is aware of them. Certain defects may indicate glaucoma.

Why do you have to have your eyes dilated to do a visual fields test is that necessary?

Dilating the pupils for a visual field test allows more light to enter the eye. If your first visual field was performed while dilated, it's very important that all subsequent visual fields be repeated while dilated, otherwise the undilated tests are considered inaccurate or invalid.


Which diagnostic test is performed to determaine losses in peripheral vision?

A visual field test is typically performed to determine losses in peripheral vision. It involves staring at a fixed point while lights of varying intensity are shown in different areas of your peripheral vision, and you indicate when you see them. This helps to map out any blind spots or areas of reduced vision in your peripheral field.


Is visual field testing performed to determine the presence of cataracts?

no visual field testing is used to determine peripheral vision losses


Normal vision in both eyes for right half of the visual field absence of vision in both eyes for left half of the visual field?

Normal vision in both eyes results in the right half of the visual field being dominant. The absence of vision in both eyes results in the left half of the visual field being dominant.


What are the two parts of visual field?

The visual field is divided into two parts: the central visual field, which corresponds to the area of vision where details are most clearly perceived, and the peripheral visual field, which encompasses the surrounding area where details are less distinct. Both parts work together to provide a comprehensive view of the environment.


If an object is moving to the left at a constant speed and your eyes are rotating to the left at twice the speed how will you see the object?

The object will appear to be moving to the right in your visual field. This is because your visual field is moving to the left faster than the object is moving to the left. What you will see is that the object will appear in your visual field on the left, and the object will move across your visual field to the right.

What is the effect of lesions in the left optic tract?

Lesions in the left optic tract typically result in a visual field defect in the right visual field of both eyes. This is because fibers carrying visual information from the right visual field of each eye cross over in the optic chiasm and travel through the left optic tract.


What is an eye examination?

An eye examination is a series of tests that measure a person's ocular health and visual status, to detect abnormalities in the components of the visual system


How is the visual pathway from the eyes different from that of the ears or hands?

each eye is not primarily connected to one hemisphere only instead, each visual half field is projected to the opposite hemisphere so, if an image is seen in the right visual field it would be seen in the left hemisphere and if an image is seen in the left visual field it would be seen in the right hemisphere
