visual field test

A measurement of how well your central and peripheral vision are functioning. This test is used to measure how much peripheral vision you have. In the case of retinitis pigmentosa, your peripheral vision deteriorates over time. One type of field test is called automated perimetry. This test can show you how much vision you have left.

During a visual field test you will me asked to look at a central object, and detect objects (moving or still) on the edge of your vision. You may be asked to complete this test one eye at a time.
