Visual field testing Wimbledon
Here at Fiona Watt Optometrists, we provide visual field testing in Wimbledon at our practice as a method of measuring an individual’s entire scope of vision, both the central and peripheral (side vision). Visual field testing maps the visual fields of each eye individually and can detect blind spots (scotomas) as well as more subtle areas of dim vision. It is a way of measuring how much vision you have in each eye and how much vison loss may have occurred over time. The size and shape of the scotoma can help in the diagnosis of certain eye diseases.
Visual field testing is part of your eye examination at Fiona Watt Optometrists. The Frequency Doubling Technology field analyser is a fast and effective way of detecting visual fields loss. Our Optometrist will compare, measure, monitor and review your visual field results at every eye examination from your baseline results.
