Frequently Asked Questions
What is a visual field test?
A visual field test checks your peripheral (side) vision by measuring how well you can detect objects while looking straight ahead. It helps detect changes that may be caused by conditions like glaucoma.
How does the online test work?
You cover one eye, focus on a fixation cross at the center of the screen, and press space or click whenever you see a flash dot appear in your periphery. The test maps which areas you detected and which you missed.
How accurate is an online visual field test?
Our visual field test is designed as a screening and monitoring tool, not a replacement for professional diagnosis. The advanced mode uses threshold testing, but always consult an eye care professional for proper evaluation.
What do the results mean?
You receive a color-coded map showing points seen (blue) and missed (orange), along with an AI summary, score, test duration, and consistency checks. Missing several points in patterns may indicate reduced sensitivity, but this is not a diagnosis.
