  2. Amsler grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsler_grid

    It is a diagnostic tool that aids in the detection of visual disturbances caused by changes in the retina, particularly the macula (e.g. macular degeneration, Epiretinal membrane), as well as the optic nerve and the visual pathway to the brain. Amsler grid usually help detecting defects in central 20 degrees of the visual field. [2]

  3. Visual pathway lesions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_pathway_lesions

    Visual field-bitemporal hemianopia Visual field-binasal hemianopia. A lesion involving complete optic chiasm, which disrupts the axons from the nasal field of both eyes, causes loss of vision of the right half of the right visual field and the left half of the left visual field. [3] This visual field defect is called as bitemporal hemianopia.

  4. Humphrey visual field analyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humphrey_Visual_Field_Analyser

    Figure 1 - Humphrey field analyser. Humphrey field analyser (HFA) is a tool for measuring the human visual field that is commonly used by optometrists, orthoptists and ophthalmologists, particularly for detecting monocular visual field. [1] The results of the analyser identify the type of vision defect.

  5. Optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_neuropathy

    Visual acuity often remains stable and poor (around or below 20/200) with a residual central visual field defect. Patients with the 14484/ND6 mutation are most likely to have visual recovery. [8] Dominant optic atrophy is an autosomal dominant disease caused by a defect in the nuclear gene OPA1. A slowly progressive optic neuropathy, dominant ...

  6. Microperimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microperimetry

    Microperimetry, sometimes called fundus-controlled perimetry, [1] is a type of visual field test [2] which uses one of several technologies to create a "retinal sensitivity map" of the quantity of light perceived in specific parts of the retina [3] in people who have lost the ability to fixate on an object or light source.

  7. Functional visual loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_visual_loss

    Functional visual loss (FVL) also known as Functional vision loss or Nonorganic visual loss (NOVL) is a reduction in visual acuity or loss of visual field that has no physiological or organic basis. This disease can come under the spectrum of functional neurological disorder or somatic symptom disorder .

  8. Glaucoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma

    Field defects are seen mainly in primary open angle glaucoma. Because of the unique anatomy of the RNFL, many noticeable patterns are seen in the visual field. Most of the early glaucomatous changes are seen within the central visual field, mainly in Bjerrum's area, 10-20° from fixation. [53] Following are the common glaucomatous field defects:

  9. Homonymous hemianopsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homonymous_hemianopsia

    Hemianopsia, or hemianopia, is a visual field loss on the left or right side of the vertical midline. It can affect one eye but usually affects both eyes. Homonymous hemianopsia (or homonymous hemianopia) is hemianopic visual field loss on the same side of both eyes. Homonymous hemianopsia occurs because the right half of the brain has visual ...
