Why Is Visual Fields Testing Important?
Testing visual fields plays a crucial role in assessing the overall health and functionality of the eyes. By measuring the extent and sensitivity of the peripheral vision, it can detect early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, retinal diseases, and neurological disorders. Early detection allows for timely intervention and treatment, preventing further vision loss or complications.
