Our visual field machine has a program built into it where it tells us from your age and prescription which prescription of trial lenses to put into the machine to help you see the spots the best. Basically you want a little bit of reading power over the distance correction at your age. There is a small frame where we insert the proper glasses prescription for the test. You may not do well with eyes dilated. It sounds like first optometrist may not have had the right testing protocols in place.

The first od requested the pssing be sent to him to add it to my file.
When should I get tested again for Field Visioning? The second od found my eyes in good health (no glucoma, he too a photo of my retinal it was normal) and the Field Visioning test with glasses was a breeze.
After my first experience I thought that I might of had a pituitary gland tumor based on my research.
That would cause a bitemporal field defect. Call your new doctor and explain your concerns and see if he makes anything of it.

My new doctor feels he gave me a thorough exam and if concerned in the least would have referred me to a specialist. When would you advise I get tested again? Don't feel sick
6 months - then yearly if ok
