Visual Field "Outside Normal Limits"

[alegnahas3]

Hi, due to some issues I had last night I was able to do my visual field test today instead of next week.  Last night I lost sight in my rt eye for just a second 5 times.  When I examined my eyes in the mirror my left eye would respond correctly to a light being shone but my rt eye did not.  It got bigger, then smaller, then bigger, then smaller...etc"  after about 20 mins it responded correctly to light.  I called my opth and they got me in today for the test.  I took a copy of it home and am waiting to hear from the dr tomorrow.  My Left eye says "Borderline" my Right eye says "Outside Normal Limits".

Does anybody know how to read these and what I could be looking for?  It was a SITA-STANDARD test.

Thanks!

It can cause a "Marcus-Gunn Pupil," but not always.  ON doesn't always cause scotomas or a pale optic disk.  This is why ON can be rough to diagnose.

VEP and MRI are pretty much the only "objective tests" for ON.

Optic Neuritis causes an abormal pupil response but that's about as much as I know!

The "overall" result is pretty useless.  The Doc needs to look at the "plotted" results to see if there are "areas" where the vision "drops out" (scotomas.)  Everyone has a normal "blind spot" in each eye, but ON and other diseases can cause additional "blind spots."
