- Inform patient, "I'm going to be checking your side/peripheral vision with this test. While staying focused on my eye, tell me how many fingers I'm holding up. It'll be either 1, 2, or 4."
- Ask patient to remove spectacles
- Stand 60 cm away facing the patient
- Using an occluder, ask patient to cover their left eye
- Ask patient to focus on your left eye while closing your right eye.
- Hold up 1, 2, or 4 fingers in the periphery in one of the 4 quadrants (superior temporal, superior nasal, inferior temporal, inferior nasal).
- Have the patient tell you the number of fingers they see. Make sure they are focused on your open eye and do not look at your hand.
- Check the remaining 3 quadrants.
- Repeat confrontation visual fields for the other eye. Ask patient to occlude their right eye and focus on your right eye (be sure to close your left eye).
If patient can see in all quadrants record:
OD: FTFC (full to finger counting)
