Why Is Visual Fields Testing Important?

Visual fields testing with Mullum Optoms is crucial for detecting and managing eye and neurological conditions. It measures peripheral vision, identifying blind spots or vision loss that might indicate diseases like glaucoma, retinal disorders or optic nerve damage. Early detection through visual fields testing allows for timely intervention, potentially preventing further vision deterioration.

Additionally, it helps monitor the progression of existing conditions and assess the effectiveness of treatments. By providing a comprehensive map of your visual field, this test is essential for maintaining overall eye health and can also detect underlying neurological issues, contributing to a more accurate and holistic diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a visual fields test involve?

During a visual fields test, you will look into a machine, typically a perimeter, and focus on a central point. Lights or objects will appear in different areas of your peripheral vision and you will indicate when you see them, usually by pressing a button. The machine records your responses to create a map of your visual field.
What types of visual fields tests are there?
There are several types of visual fields tests, including:
- Static Perimetry: Measures your ability to see lights of varying intensity in different parts of your visual field.
- Kinetic Perimetry: Involves moving a light or object into your field of vision to determine the boundaries of your peripheral vision.
- Frequency Doubling Technology (FDT): Uses a special type of visual stimulus to detect early visual field loss.
How long does a visual fields test take?

A visual fields test typically takes between 10-30 minutes per eye, depending on the type of test and the specific condition being evaluated.
