What does visual field testing determine?

All motion in every direction is stopped when the light is moved across the pupil
The patient fixates with only one eye while the other eye turns in
The area of the space visible to the eye
Perimetry

The correct answer is: The area of the space visible to the eye

Visual field testing is used to determine the area of space that is visible to the eye. This helps ophthalmologists and optometrists diagnose eye conditions such as glaucoma, retinal detachment, and optic neuritis. Option A is incorrect because it describes the cover test, not visual field testing. Option B is incorrect because it describes the cover-uncover test, not visual field testing. Option D is incorrect because it is simply another term for visual field testing.
