Visual Field Test
A confrontation visual field is a test done by the eye doctor to know the patient’s uniocular field of view. The patient is made to sit in front of the doctor at about 2 arms length distance.
The doctor covers his right eye to check the patient’s right eye field. He/ she brings his/her finger or a red object from the periphery to centre in all the directions 3600 from the center. All this while the patient has to look at the examiner’s left eye. The extent of the patient’s left eye field can be similarly tested by closing the doctor’s left eye.
