Why is visual field testing important?
The visual field test provides a map of the field of vision. The map shows precisely where different intensities of light are seen or not seen in the field of vision. This test can help show whether or not blind spots are developing as a result of glaucoma or other eye disorders. The FDT is a state-of-the-art instrument that has proven highly useful in the early detection of glaucoma and other eye disorders. Regular testing with the FDT is a safe, fast, and reliable way to detect eye disease. Why should you undergo regular FDT screening? Recent studies have shown that visual field testing instruments like the FDT are one of the best, most reliable tools for early glaucoma detection. Safe, accurate, and non-intrusive, the FDT instrument may also provide early detection of other vision threatening diseases.
