Visual Fields
Definition
• Island of vision in sea of blindness. The peak of the island represents the point of highest acuity, the fovea while the “bottom less pit” represents the blind spot, the optic disc.
Normal Monocular & Binocular Field
Monocular:• Nasal side - 50° to 60°• Superior side - 60° to 70°• Inferior side - 70° to 80°• Temporal side - 100°to110°Binocular:• Vertical field - 110°• Horizontal field - 200°
Visual Field Testing1.Stimuli: Testing the island of vision at
various levels requires targets that vary in (a) Size(b) Intensity(c) Colour
2. Field Test Methods: Kinetic; Mapping the contours of the island at different levels, resulting in one Isopter for each level tested.
Static; Vertical contours of the island along a selected
meridian.
Clinical testing methods• Central fields - Below 30°• Peripheral fields – Above 30° to 360°Central Fields:
Confrontation methodAmsler’s grid Bjerrum’s screen
Peripheral Fields:Listen perimeterGoldmann perimeter
Defects
• Retina
• Glaucoma
• Neuro
Retina Field defect
• Central Scotoma:
* Central serious Retinopathy
* Macula Degeneration
* Macular Oedema ( any macular disease)
*Centro-cecal scotoma
* Toxic Amblyopia
* Stargadits

* Retinal Detachment• Ring Scotoma:
* High myopia * Aphakic spectacle correction* Retinitis pigmentosa* Pan retinal photocoagulation
Altitudinal defect
Ring Scotoma
Glaucoma Fields
Glaucoma Field defect
• Isopter contraction:
Peripheral Isopter contraction may be significantly smaller prior to any filed loss.
• Baring of the blind spot:
It is also considered to be an early field defect in glaucoma.
Field defect• Angio-scotomata:
Are long branching scotomata above or below the blind spot which are presumed to be resulted from shadow created by large retinal vessels and are felt to be an early change
• Para central scotoma: One or more isolated Para central
scotomata develop in the Bjerrum or arcute area.
Para central scotoma
Field defect• Seidel’s scotoma:
A sickle shape defect arises from the blind spot and tapers to a point in a curved course with concavity towards the fixation point.
• Bjerrum’s or Arcute scotoma:A relatively larger area of defect in the form
of arching scotoma, which eventually fills the entire arcute area, from blind spot to the median raphe. With further progression, a double arcuate (ring or annular ) scotomata will develop.
Arcute Scotoma
Field defect
• Roenne’s nasal step:The arcuate defects may not
proceed at the same rate in the upper and lower portion of the eye. Consequently, a step-like defect is frequently created where the arcuate defects meet at the median raphe. This is called Roenne’s nasal step, and it is mostly superior nasal step as, Superior field is involve somewhat more frequently.
Field defect
• Contraction & Tubler field:
Generalized constriction of the peripheral field along with double arcuate scotoma- leads to Tubler field of vision in which only central vision remains clear.
Anatomy of the Visual Pathway
• The Visual pathway (i) The end-organ –It is the neural epithelium
of the rods & cones(ii) The first order neurone – It is bipolar cell
with its axons in the inner layer of the retina.(iii) The second order neurone – It is
ganglion cell of the retina its axons passes in to the nerve fibre layer and along the optic nerve to the LGB
(iv) The third order nerurone – Originates in the cells of LGB, then travels by way of the optic radiations to the occipital cortex ( Visual centre)
The visual pathway thus consist of
• Two Optic nerves
• An Optic chiasma
• Two Optic tracts
• Two LGB
• Two Optic radiation
• Visual cortex on each side
Optic nerve
• It extents from the lamina crib Rosa up to the optic chiasma
• The total length of optic nerve- 3.5cm to5.5cm
it can be divided into four parts:(i) Intra ocular part - 1mm(ii) Intra orbital part - 2 to 3cm(iii) Intracanalicular part - 4 to10mm(iv) Intracranial part - 1cm
Diseases of the Optic nerve
