15 cze 2020 · Visual field (VF) testing, although sometimes described as “torturous” by our patients, can be gratifying (and important) to interpret as an ophthalmologist, especially when done systematically. This article provides quick pearls and a framework by which you can conquer interpretation of VFs and points you in the direction of relevant ...

The normal (monocular) human visual field extends to approximately 60 degrees nasally (toward the nose, or inward) from the vertical meridian in each eye, to 107 degrees temporally (away from the nose, or outwards) from the vertical meridian, and approximately 70 degrees above and 80 below the horizontal meridian. [7][1][8][9]
28 paź 2016 · The normal visual field extends 90° temporally, 70° inferiorly, and 60° nasally and superiorly [1]. Visual field testing involves assessment of contrast threshold at multiple points in the field. Most modern visual field…
At 57cm each centimetre on the paper equals one degree of visual angle, so you can measure the size of the visual field simply by measuring the size of the area in centimetres. When the visual field is very limited, you may like to use a longer distance, 114cm or 228cm to make the measurement even more exact.
12 gru 2015 · Visual fields are often described to be within x degrees of fixation or expressed as a diameter such as “central 30°,” which would correspond to a circle with a 30° radius from fixation. It’s helpful to know the generally accepted “normal” visual field extent (not factoring visual sensitivity), which corresponds to the retinal anatomy.
A normal visual field extends approximately 100° temporally (laterally), 60° nasally, 60° superiorly, and 70° inferiorly [2]. A physiologic scotoma (a blind spot) exists at 15° temporally where the optic nerve leaves the eye. Definitive location varies slightly on an individual basis.
Visual Angle. Vision scientists usually express the size of an image on the retina in terms of visual angle. They use this measure instead of the size of the object or square millimeters of retina covered because it is consistent regardless of the distance from the viewer or the size of the eye.
