Wall perimetry is a simple visual field test to screen for "tunnel vision." Chiropractors can use this inexpensive method to detect peripheral vision abnormalities before spinal manipulation therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology
  • Chiropractic Medicine

Background:

  • Wall perimetry is a preliminary screening test for visual perception abnormalities.
  • It helps identify peripheral vision loss, often associated with "tunnel vision."
  • This method is inexpensive and sensitive for detecting visual field deficits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique of wall perimetry.
  • To introduce wall perimetry as a visual field examination method for chiropractic patients.

Main Methods:

  • Patients stand 1 meter from a room corner, focusing on the wall junction.
  • Examiners project a light target onto the wall from behind the patient.
  • The target is moved until detected by the patient to assess visual fields.

Main Results:

  • Wall perimetry can detect visual field loss, characteristic of "tunnel vision."
  • The test is expected to identify patients with visual field deficits.

Conclusions:

  • Chiropractors are advised to use wall perimetry for patient screening before spinal manipulation.
  • Formal visual field examination is recommended for verification if deficits are detected.
