Visual field 'deviation'
Discussion
Anyone able to shed any light on what this means?
I'm going back for a retest tomorrow and the optician said that either it'll revert to normal or I might need a referral elsewhere. In the meantime Google has not been my friend - I haven't been able to find anywhere that explains how to read this. Anyone an eyeball expert?

Mrs M,
That's a standard field plot for your L eye. It shows a fairly generalised loss of sensitivity (ie the lights had to be brighter for you to see them than the machine thought they should be based on your info).
Bottom R plot shows the black splodges where you missed the presented light. The top 2 are then the same put into numbers, one a standardised loss (top R) and one corrected for its internal figures for your age (L). The lights need to be brighter as we get older.
Unless you have something that would do this, like a cataract, you would usually expect a more localised loss for specific diseases.
It is likely that going back you will do better. Field test are very basic in their principle but actually quite hard work to do.
Bear in mind this is all based on me knowing nothing about your particular case so you must go back and do it again.
