Function studies of the eye are used to assess the visual system's performance and diagnose any underlying conditions that may be affecting it. These studies include visual acuity tests, color vision tests, visual field tests, and more.
Abnormal results from these function studies can indicate a range of potential issues, including neurological conditions, eye diseases, or even a need for corrective lenses. Here are some of the more common abnormal results that may be seen:
If abnormal results are found during function studies of the eye, further testing may be needed to determine the underlying cause. This may include additional visual function tests, imaging studies, or referral to a specialist for further evaluation.
It's important to note that not all abnormal results are indicative of a serious condition. Some may simply require a change in prescription glasses or contact lenses. However, it's always best to have any abnormal results evaluated by a qualified eye care professional to ensure that any underlying issues are identified and treated appropriately.
