Abstract

Acute visual field loss is a clinical sign that is frequently encountered in the emergency room. The visual field loss could be caused by a variety of ocular as well as neurological disease processes. Successful diagnosis of visual field loss cases requires careful differential analysis of a wide variety of possibilities, complete examinations of medical and ocular history, and comprehensive ophthalmic examinations. Ancillary tests play a major role in assisting the correct diagnosis of these diseases. Major causes of acute visual field loss are discussed in this chapter.
