Visual Field Defect

A visual field defect is a condition where a person experiences a loss of vision in certain areas of their visual field. This means they may have difficulty seeing things in specific parts of their surroundings, while other areas may remain normal. These defects can result from various causes, including eye diseases, brain injuries, or neurological conditions. For instance, someone with a visual field defect might have trouble seeing objects on one side or may have blind spots. Detecting these defects is essential for proper diagnosis and management, as they can affect daily activities and quality of life.
