The visual field refers to the total area in which objects can be
seen in the side (peripheral) vision when the eyes are focused on a
central point. Glaucoma is a condition of the eye in which the
optic nerve is damaged due to increased fluid pressure in the eye.
If untreated or uncontrolled, glaucoma first causes peripheral
vision loss and eventually can lead to blindness. A visual field
test is a method of measuring an individual's entire scope of
vision, that is their central and peripheral (side) vision. The
test is most frequently used to help detect glaucoma but may also
be used for detection of central or peripheral diseases of the
retina, eyelid conditions such as drooping (ptosis), optic nerve
damage and disease, and conditions affecting the visual pathways
from the optic nerve to the area of the brain (occipital cortex)
where this information is processed into vision. The fourth edition
of this comprehensive text provides ophthalmologists and trainees
with a guide to the interpretation of visual field tests and
subsequent diagnosis and management of ocular disorders. The book
has been fully revised and features additional topics including two
new classification systems for glaucoma. Nearly 800 clinical
photographs and diagrams further enhance learning. Key points
