matters needing attention

The visual field should be checked regularly. Visual field examination is divided into dynamic and static examination. The general visual field examination is dynamic, which is to measure the points of equal sensitivity with moving visual markers, and the line connected is called equal line of sight, recording the peripheral contour of the visual field.
