Question Title: reading results of "Formal Visual Field Testing"

Forum: The Eye Care Forum
Topic: Macular Degeneration


after taking a visual field test the results were:
left eye 63/120
right eye 86/120

Can you tell me what my field of vision is?
Is it less than 140 degrees?
I don't know how it is determined.

bill-
you had a particular type of visual field done called a 120 point screen.the numbers are simply now while you did have a high miss rate, i cannot convert that specifically to degree of VF loss except to say that it is probably less then 140 degrees in the left eye, and may be in the rightDisclaimer

as well. to better quantitate things you should have a 30-2 field done.
