kinetic perimetry

Kinetic perimetry is a vision test used to map the visual field, which is the area you can see when looking straight ahead. During the test, a moving light or object is presented at different points around your peripheral vision. You are asked to indicate when you see the light, allowing the examiner to record how far you can see in each direction. This helps identify blind spots or vision loss, often associated with conditions like glaucoma or neurological disorders, thus providing important information about your overall eye health.
