Abstract

In this chapter we wish to present the diagnostic significance of visual field deficits with the help of case presentations. We would like to focus primarily on aspects that are best suited to facilitate everyday diagnostic practice, at least according to our experience. We are not going to cover the appropriate technique of visual field testing and potential mistakes that can be made, although in some cases we are going to highlight them.
