We relocated in late 2020, so I had to find a new eye specialist.
When I did a field vision test, he informed me that I should not drive. This upset me greatly.
I have unusual areas of vision loss and know that there are no areas that are blank for both eyes.
I requested to see another glaucoma specialist who ordered a double eye field vision test (I didn't' know they existed!).
I found the lights during this test very distinctive and apparently he judged my vision satisfactory to drive.
Why are we usually only given single eye field vision tests? I find this mesmerizing and confusing?

Living in York Peninsula community two hour's drive from Adelaide and with no optometrist in her local community, Debra booked an appointment as soon as she could. That’s when she received her life changing diagnosis.
When Bette Smith’s cousin told her they had glaucoma in the family, she did what all Australians should be doing, she got her eyes checked.
My mother was diagnosed with glaucoma when she was about seventy, so I was closely monitored. When there were indicators that I could be following the same path, I was referred to a glaucoma specialist.
