A confrontation visual field is a test done by the eye doctor to know the patient’s uniocular field of view. The patient is made to sit in front of the doctor at about 2 arms length distance.

To test the validity of a simple screening test to identify patients with visual impairment. Patients on the orthopaedic rehabilitation ward recuperating from proximal hip fracture were recruited.

Confrontation visual fields were noted to be performed on all of the four visits and were recorded as normal. Visual field screening on first visit. The yellow circles were drawn years after the exam.

Confrontation visual fields were significant for bilateral inferior visual field cuts. Intraocular pressures were 21 mm Hg in the right eye and 14 mm Hg in the left.
