Testing Your Visual Field

You've probably been to the eye doctor many times in your life, and you may be familiar with several of the exams they do, but sometimes there are new tests that help you and the doctor understand your vision and how to work with it.

Here's a look at several of the eye exams your doctor may perform to check your visual field. Your visual field is everything you see from side to side or up and down while you're looking straight ahead.

Some eye conditions can cause a change in what you see straight ahead of you, while others can cause a change in what you see around the edges.

Understanding your visual field can help your doctor know what treatment you need, and it can help you make the most of the vision that works best for you.

Let's look at your central vision first, which is what you see straight ahead.

Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your email address, name, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we are just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free-of-charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to the Hadley team.
