Study Notes

Visual Field

The visual field is the total area a person can see while focusing on a specific point.
It includes both the central and peripheral regions of vision.
The central visual field pertains to what is seen directly ahead, while the peripheral visual field encompasses the outer edges of vision.
A healthy visual field is crucial for effective interaction with the environment.
Abnormalities in the visual field may indicate eye conditions or neurological problems.

Visual Pathway

The visual pathway is the route through which visual information is transmitted from the eyes to the brain.
This pathway allows for perception and interpretation of visual stimuli.
Understanding the visual pathway is essential for diagnosing and treating visual impairments.
