visual field studies

Visual field studies are tests that assess a person's peripheral vision and the overall scope of what they can see. During these tests, an individual usually focuses on a central point while lights or objects appear in different areas of their visual field. The individual indicates when they see these lights. This helps identify any blind spots or vision loss, which can indicate underlying conditions affecting the eyes or brain, such as glaucoma or neurological issues. Essentially, these studies help doctors understand how well a person's eyes and brain are working together to process visual information.
