Question
Hello,
My Ophthalmologist said I do not have glaucoma. The pressures are asymmetrical which is something that goes with glaucoma. She asked if anyone in my family had it. I said, my Grandmother. She then said to come back for a 3rd visual field test. I asked what's the difference? She said, it has more colors and it's more in depth.
I do not understand why a person needs 3 visual field tests.
Can you think of a reason behind this?
Thanks!
Answer
Dear Dee,
It would be best then to see a Glaucoma specialist as they would have more adavnced and sensitive diagnostic equipment. At least, you will know a diagnosis for sure instead of being on the fence.
Hope this helps,
Best,
