A member asked:
Visual field test 2 mos. apart w/fixation loss of 6/12 in 1st test & 3/14 in 2nd test. 1st test showed more damage than 2nd. which test is most right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The second : Less fixation losses on the second test means you were focusing on the fixation target more times than on the first test. Therefore, the second is the most accurate test.
