Horizontal visual field:
10 stimuli sweep the horizontal visual field to the right and left of the patient‘s eyes. Angles swept: 90°, 75°, 60°, 45°, 30°
Caution: This test should be performed in binocular vision.
Vertical visual field:
8 stimuli sweep the vertical visual field above and below the patient‘s eyes.
Angles swept:
30°, 22°, -22°, -30°
Purpose:
Measures aptitude for vehicle or engine driving. An appreciation of the amplitude of the horizontal and vertical visual field is required by certain laws (road rules).
Caution: If the patient wears glasses, the frames could alter the visual field
