visual field mapping

Visual field mapping is a process used by eye care professionals to measure a person’s peripheral and central vision. It involves testing which areas of vision are clear and which are affected by blind spots or vision loss. During the test, the patient looks at a central point while lights or patterns are shown in different parts of their visual field. The results create a detailed map highlighting areas of normal or impaired vision, helping diagnose conditions like glaucoma, neurological issues, or eye injuries. This mapping is essential for understanding the extent and location of visual impairments.
