    The document discusses visual field testing and defects. It defines the visual field as the entire area that can be seen when looking straight ahead. It describes normal visual field testing methods like confrontation testing, Bjerrum's screen, and automated perimetry. The results of automated perimetry can show different types of field defects like congruous, homonymous, and quadrant field defects resulting from lesions in the optic pathway or disc.
