Visual Fields
Visual field testing evaluates peripheral (side) vision to identify blind spots or areas of reduced sensitivity. This information is a key tool in diagnosing and managing conditions such as glaucoma.
At Innisfail Eyecare Centre we provide visual field testing to support both medical assessments, driving eligibility and for occupational requirements. Visual field testing is important in conditions such as glaucoma, MS, pituitary gland disorders, brain tumors, strokes and monitoring side effects of certain medications. We are also pleased to offer visual field testing as required by Alberta Transportation for licence applications and renewals, when required. In addition, we perform assessments for individuals applying to certain occupations, including Calgary Police Services, the RCMP and other professions with specific visual standards.
