Overview

Side vision is lost quietly.

Visual field testing measures how much you see to the sides without moving your eyes. Gonioscopy examines the drainage angle, where fluid leaves the eye.

Both are used alongside the IOP check when glaucoma is suspected or is being monitored over time.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Numbing drops are used before the contact lens is placed gently on the eye, so most people feel only mild pressure.

Pressure, the drainage angle and the visual field together give a clearer picture of glaucoma risk than any one test alone.
