What are common complaints about visual field testing?
People sometimes complain that the visual field test is “too hard,” or say “I keep falling asleep,” or “I feel like I’m being hypnotized and don’t really know if I am seeing these little dots.” These complaints result from certain kinds of very sensitive tests. The tests present dimmer and dimmer targets until they reach the limit of what your eye can see. Sometimes if a test seems very hard it means the computer keeps making the targets harder and harder to detect and that your eye is very healthy!
