Aka the dreaded visual field test...

Had mine today, three years, loads more laser & a vitrectomy after the previous one, when I scored 100%...I got 98%, the two I missed were on the extreme periphery of the vitrectomy eye & the optician didn't shred my licence & said 'he "thought I'd be ok" (wow, comforting...so can I drive or what?! 😱) Part of the problem was I was really struggling to concentrate & started feeling faint half way though...really hope I've not sunk myself?! 😱 Got to wait to hear now... It's a heck of a boring test though, isn't it?!!?
 
That test does mess with your head ! (does me). Hope result is good for you 😉
 
I hate that test. It sounds like you will keep your licence, I hope so🙂
 
It makes me feel dizzy. I hope all will be OK, 98% sounds good to me.
 
Thanks guys...desperate to retain my licence (safely)...elderly in laws, young kids & working in a different town where public tranport would mean several buses & a long commute mean that it would be 'challenging' without a car! 😱 I know we'd manage but eek... Fingers crossed, I'm hoping it just being the two points will be ok (& surely if it was bad he'd have to stop me driving?!) ...fingers crossed...
 
Fingers crossed for you twitchy but it sounds like you are OK. I hate that test too. I think I see spots that aren't there!
