A four-meter confrontation visual field test effectively screens central vision, identifying paracentral scotomas and macular sparing in homonymous hemianopia. This simple office technique enhances paracentral vision evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuro-ophthalmology
  • Visual field testing

Background:

  • Confrontation visual field testing has limitations in assessing paracentral vision.
  • Traditional methods may not adequately screen for specific visual field defects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of a four-meter confrontation visual field test for screening central vision.
  • To assess the test's ability to detect paracentral scotomas and macular sparing.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a four-meter confrontation visual field test for central field screening.
  • Compared the optical principles to the two-meter tangent screen examination.

Main Results:

  • The four-meter test successfully identifies paracentral scotomas.

  • Macular sparing in homonymous hemianopia can be detected.
  • The technique's optics magnify scotomas, similar to tangent screen methods.

    • Conclusions:

    • A four-meter confrontation visual field test is a valuable office screening tool.
    • This method aids in evaluating paracentral vision effectively.
    • The technique is useful for neuro-ophthalmologists in clinical practice.
