Frequently Asked Questions

What is visual field testing used for?
Visual field testing measures the full extent of your peripheral vision and detects blind spots or areas of vision loss. It's primarily used to diagnose and monitor glaucoma, but also helps detect neurological conditions, retinal diseases, and other eye disorders that affect peripheral vision.
How long does a visual field test take?
A standard visual field test typically takes 5-30 minutes per eye, depending on the testing protocol used and the patient's ability to respond consistently. Automated testing is generally faster than manual perimetry.
Is visual field testing painful?
No, visual field testing is completely non-invasive and painless. Patients simply look into the testing device and respond to light stimuli by pressing a button when they see flashes of light.
How often should visual field testing be performed?
Testing frequency depends on the patient's condition and risk factors. Glaucoma patients typically have tests annually or every 6 months, while patients with other conditions may need less frequent testing. Your eye care provider will recommend the appropriate schedule.
Can visual field test results be affected by other factors?
Yes, results can be affected by patient fatigue, attention level, media opacity, and other factors. The software includes reliability indices to help clinicians identify potentially unreliable results that may need to be repeated.
How does this integrate with my existing practice management system?
Visual Field Test integrates with major EHR and practice management systems through standard interfaces like HL7 and DICOM, allowing seamless data exchange and workflow integration. Contact the vendor for specific integration details with your system.
