What is A Peripheral Vision Test?
Visual field tests are a simple way to check your peripheral vision – that is everything that is not within your central field of vision.
It may seem quite easy to test your own peripheral vision at home but only an eye health professional can give you an accurate diagnosis. Early changes are often imperceptible. There are several ways an optometrist can assess peripheral vision. Depending on the store and your clinical needs, this may include a combination of assessment techniques and specialised equipment to evaluate your visual field and support a comprehensive eye examination.
