Esterman Test

The Esterman Visual Field Test is the recommended sight test used by the DVLNI to determine if the patient’s vision is still suitable for driving after an accident or stroke. We also use it for monitoring advanced Glaucoma patients, diabetes patients and for checking peripheral or side vision defects.

Visual Field Scanner

The test is done using our gold standard piece of equipment called the Humphreys Field Analyser manufactured by Zeiss. It is very sensitive to picking up very early signs of retinal damage even if patients have no outward symptoms

The Esterman Visual Field Test is carried out on both eyes together, wearing any glasses that you normally wear when driving. It is carried out on a visual field analyser, a computerised machine where you have to responding to small, flashing lights by pressing a button whilst looking straight ahead. The test takes minutes to complete.
