The visual field examination is important to detect many diseases that affect the eye, the optic nerve or the brain. Visual fields can help diagnose brain tumors, strokes, and other conditions. Glaucoma can produce a defect in the visual field. Your ophthalmologist can determine extensive disease and the effectiveness of treatment by repeated visual field examinations. The visual field test provides information which no other test can. Dr. Cano will interpret the results and discuss them with you in detail.
