Visual Field Test
Free
Take a browser-based visual field test at home to map peripheral vision, track changes over time, and share results with your eye care professional.
Visual Field Test is a free, web-based screening tool for checking peripheral vision at home. You run it in any browser. You need a screen and a way to cover one eye. No other hardware.
About
This is healthcare work: mapping what you can see at the edges of your vision, not the center. It helps you notice changes over time.
The tool offers two modes. Simple mode is a quick check with no setup. Advanced mode calibrates your screen and measures sensitivity in decibels, giving you numbers a clinician would recognize.
You get color-coded maps, response checks, and a plain-language AI summary. You can track history and compare results.
Open it if you want to monitor peripheral vision between clinic visits. Skip it if you need a diagnosis; this screens, it does not confirm disease.
Who Visual Field Test is best for
It fits when you need to watch peripheral vision without traveling to a clinic.
- People with suspected glaucoma or optic nerve disorders: You catch early warning signs at home. You still need a full exam to confirm.
- Those needing to monitor peripheral vision changes: You spot patterns over weeks or months. You bring that record to your next appointment.
- Patients in underserved regions without clinic access: You get a basic screening where none exists. It is not a replacement for equipment a hospital has.
- People with glaucoma concerns needing frequent monitoring: You test more often than insurance covers. You watch for sudden shifts yourself.
- Patients wanting to track vision between clinical visits: You build a personal log. You show your doctor trends, not single points.
- Users curious about basic peripheral vision screening: You satisfy that curiosity in ten minutes. You learn if a real exam makes sense.
- Preliminary self-check before professional exam: You walk into the clinic with context. You ask better questions.
- Driver's license vision screenings: You check if you might pass. Rules vary by state, so you confirm locally.
Best things about Visual Field Test
These are the parts that keep you coming back.
- No special hardware: You use the screen you already own. You skip ordering gadgets you will use twice.
- Two modes for different needs: You pick quick or thorough. You are not forced into one long ritual.
- Color-coded result maps: You see blue where you saw the dot, orange where you missed. You grasp the pattern instantly.
- AI summary in plain language: You read what the numbers mean without a medical dictionary. You decide faster if something seems off.
- Tracks history over time: You compare this month to last. You notice drift before it becomes obvious.
How you use Visual Field Test
The path is short.
- Open the site and pick Simple or Advanced mode.
- Cover one eye and keep your head still.
- Click when you see a light appear at the edge of the screen.
- Repeat for the other eye or both eyes together.
- Review your map, stats, and AI summary.
Why you should ignore it
Skip it when these limits matter.
- Not a standalone diagnosis: You can get normal results and still have disease. You always follow up with a clinician.
- Accuracy unverified against hospital machines: You do not know if your numbers match a Humphrey or Octopus machine. You treat trends as hints, not proof.
- Can be tiring: You focus hard for several minutes. You may need to repeat the test for reliable data.
- Requires careful positioning: You must keep your head still and distance right. You get bad data if you drift.
