Visual Field Test in Aurangabad

The gold-standard functional test for glaucoma — mapping your complete field of vision, including peripheral areas you can't consciously monitor yourself.

Understanding Perimetry

Testing What You Can't See

Your visual field is everything you can see — straight ahead and to the sides — without moving your eyes. Conditions like glaucoma often damage peripheral vision first, and because the brain is remarkably good at "filling in" small blind spots, most people don't notice this loss until it's significant.

A visual field test, or perimetry, precisely maps your complete field of vision to catch these blind spots early. At Hazari Eye Hospital, we use the latest-generation Humphrey Field Analyser from Zeiss — introduced in 2020, a first for Marathwada — the world's gold standard for this test.

Repeated over time, this test also lets our doctors monitor whether your glaucoma treatment is successfully stabilising your vision.

Common Questions

Visual Field Test — FAQs

It's a test that measures your complete field of vision — including your peripheral (side) vision — to detect blind spots or areas of vision loss that you might not notice in daily life.
You look into the Humphrey Field Analyser and press a button whenever you see a flash of light appear in your peripheral vision. The machine maps out your full field of vision based on your responses.
No, it's non-invasive and painless. It requires concentration and can take about 10-15 minutes per eye, but involves no physical contact beyond resting your chin on a support.
Glaucoma damages peripheral vision first, often without the person noticing, since the brain compensates for small blind spots. Visual field testing is the gold-standard functional test to catch and monitor this.
If you have glaucoma or are at risk, your doctor will recommend a testing schedule — often annually, or more frequently if your condition is being closely monitored.
