This paper explains basic concepts in visual field testing, a key ophthalmological task. It covers perimetry, psychophysics, and scotoma classification for diagnosing visual pathway issues.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychophysics

Context:

  • Visual field testing is crucial for diagnosing visual pathway lesions and unexplained vision loss.
  • Conventional perimetry is widely accessible, standardized, and essential for clinical practice.
  • Accurate visual field findings are vital for expert opinions and ability assessments.

Purpose:

  • To impart fundamental concepts of perimetry and psychophysics for visual field examination.
  • To outline indications and the general setup for perimetric examinations.
  • To introduce a classification system for scotomas.

Summary:

  • This continuing education paper focuses on conventional visual field examination strategies.
  • It details basic principles of perimetry and psychophysics, including indications and setup.
