About Visual Field Defect

A visual field defect is not a procedure but a diagnostic finding indicating a loss of peripheral or central vision. An ophthalmologist performs a comprehensive visual field test, known as perimetry, to map the full horizontal and vertical range of what each eye can see. This non-invasive test is crucial for detecting blind spots (scotomas) and patterns of vision loss. It is a primary diagnostic tool for monitoring and managing conditions like glaucoma, retinal disorders, optic nerve damage, and neurological issues affecting the visual pathways. Early detection through this test allows for timely intervention to preserve remaining vision and manage the underlying cause effectively.

Key Highlights

Non-invasive and painless diagnostic test.Provides a detailed map of functional vision, including peripheral and central fields.Essential for early detection and monitoring of progressive eye diseases like glaucoma.Helps in localizing neurological problems affecting the visual pathway from the eye to the brain.Quantifiable results allow for precise tracking of changes in vision over time.

Suspected or diagnosed glaucoma to monitor for peripheral vision loss.
Evaluation of optic nerve disorders like optic neuritis or optic neuropathy.
Suspected retinal conditions such as retinal detachment or advanced macular degeneration.
Assessment following a stroke or brain tumor that may affect vision.

Bring your current eyeglasses or contact lenses for the test.

Some patients may experience temporary eye strain or fatigue from concentrating.
In rare cases, anxiety or dizziness can occur during the test.
The main 'risk' is the potential discovery of a serious underlying condition requiring further treatment.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
