At a wink & a smile, we offer the Virtual Field Test. The Virtual Field Test is a state-of- the-art examination that evaluates your field of vision, how well you can see in your central and peripheral (side) vision. Instead of using traditional bulky machines, this test is performed using a lightweight, comfortable VR headset, offering a more accessible and patient-friendly experience.
This test is crucial for detecting and monitoring a range of vision-threatening conditions, often before symptoms are noticed.
The Virtual Field Test is engineered to detect subtle changes in vision caused by:
Glaucoma – Often causes gradual, painless loss of peripheral vision. This test helps track early changes and progression.
Neurological Conditions – Such as brain tumors, strokes, or optic nerve disorders which can lead to abnormal visual field patterns.
Retinal Diseases – Including retinal detachment, macular degeneration, and inherited retinal conditions.
Medication Side Effects – For certain drugs that require ongoing visual field monitoring.
In the event of an eye injury, improper care can make things worse. Here’s what you should never do:
Quick and non-invasive
No bulky equipment or dilation
Comfortable VR headset experience
Accurate data for early detection and ongoing care
Digital results saved for long-term monitoring
Protecting your sight starts with proactive care. If you have a history of glaucoma, retinal disease, or neurological conditions—or you're experiencing changes in your nvision—ask about the Virtual Field Test during your next visit.
