Peripheral Vision Check — Hastinapuram

Sri Vision Eye Hospital & Laser Center — Nagarjuna Colony, Phase-4, Hastinapuram

A Peripheral Vision Check evaluates the side (peripheral) areas of your sight — the parts you see outside your direct line of vision. This screening helps detect early peripheral field defects caused by glaucoma, retinal tears, neurological conditions or vascular problems, enabling prompt investigation and treatment.

🔎 What the Peripheral Vision Check Includes

• Confrontation Screening: Quick bedside check for gross field loss.
• Automated Perimetry (Humphrey): Detailed computerized testing of peripheral and central fields.
• Goldmann Kinetic Perimetry: Manual wide-field testing for peripheral defects when needed.
• Binocular Estimation: Functional screening to assess everyday peripheral awareness.

👥 Who Should Get a Peripheral Vision Check?

• People with glaucoma or glaucoma risk factors
• Patients reporting bumping into objects, difficulty driving or noticing objects at the side
• Those with sudden floaters, flashes, or peripheral vision loss
• Patients with neurological symptoms (headache, visual field changes after stroke)
• Regular screening for those on medications that affect vision or with a family history of field loss

💡 Quick Tip: Early peripheral field defects are often symptomless. Regular screening for at-risk patients (glaucoma, diabetes, neurological conditions) helps prevent permanent vision loss.

📝 Procedure & Preparation

• Automated perimetry requires you to focus on a central target and press a button when you see lights appear in your peripheral vision.
• Each eye is tested separately; tests usually take 5–15 minutes per eye depending on the protocol.
• Bring your current glasses; do not wear tinted lenses. Avoid sedating medications before the test for best reliability.
• If you have previous visual field reports, bring them for comparison to detect changes over time.

📊 Interpretation & Follow-up

Test reliability is checked using fixation and response indices. Abnormal results may prompt OCT imaging, retinal evaluation, or neuroimaging (MRI/CT) referral. For glaucoma patients, serial fields are used to monitor progression and guide treatment.
