Visual field screening

Visual field screening is a crucial diagnostic tool used to assess the full extent of a person’s peripheral vision. We offer comprehensive visual field screening services to detect and monitor conditions that may affect your vision, such as glaucoma, retinal diseases, and neurological disorders. Early detection through visual field screening can lead to timely intervention and preservation of your vision.

Understanding visual field screening

Peripheral vision assessment: Visual field screening measures the full extent of your peripheral vision, including the areas that are not within your direct line of sight. This is important because certain eye conditions, such as glaucoma, can cause gradual peripheral vision loss that may go unnoticed without proper screening.

Detecting vision loss: During a visual field screening test, you will be asked to focus on a central point while lights or dots are presented at various locations in your peripheral vision. Your task is to indicate when you see these lights or dots, allowing the optometrist to map out your visual field and identify any areas of reduced sensitivity or vision loss.

Monitoring eye health: Visual field screening is not only useful for detecting vision loss but also for monitoring changes over time. By regularly screening your visual field, our optometrists can track the progression of conditions such as glaucoma and adjust treatment plans accordingly to preserve your vision.

The benefits of visual field screening

Early detection of eye conditions: Many eye conditions, such as glaucoma and retinal diseases, can cause irreversible vision loss if left untreated. Visual field screening allows us to detect these conditions in their early stages when treatment is most effective, helping to prevent further vision loss and preserve your quality of life.

Individualised treatment: The results of visual field screening provide valuable information that helps our optometrists tailor treatment plans to your specific needs. Whether it’s medication, surgery, or lifestyle modifications, early intervention based on visual field screening results can significantly improve your outcomes.

Peace of mind: Regular visual field screening offers peace of mind, knowing that your vision is being monitored closely and any changes are detected early. This proactive approach to eye care can help you maintain optimal vision and independence as you age.
