Talk:Visual field test

Merge proposal
After createing the article, I found the article on perimetry. I think these two should be merged into a single article. I think that Visual field test should be the title and perimetry a redirect to this since perimetry only covers some visual field exams (or so I understand from my reading). However, I'm not an eye doctor, I just recently had a perimetry exam performed and noticed that "Visual field test" was not defined from Visual field. Hanenkamp 14:00, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

need for the test?
I'd like it for the article to give some information on when the test is needed.

I have never had eye problems at all, and the eye doctor always gives me the option to pay $15 to get a visual field test. I can't tell if he is simply milking me for $15, or whether the test is necessary. 173.66.241.122 (talk) 04:47, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Link to the Humphrey VF analyzer page
Hey folks, just writing to say that I added a link to the Humphrey analyzer. I did this because I saw the analyzer page showing "page issues - this page is an orphan" on mobile (confirmed by looking at the "what links here" page) - although I can not see the issue on desktop.

I also added a similar link to the Idiopathic intracranial hypertension page - based on a cursory skim of WP:BOLD I figure it's better for Wikipedia's quality to do so in both cases and maybe have it reverted, than to just add sections in the talk pages.

To avoid giving undue focus on the Humphrey brand, I also did an unsuccessful quick web search for a Wiki page on anything Goldmann-related. Some additional resources:

 * [] lists both Humphrey and Octopus perimeters, however I didn't find a Wiki article on the latter either.
 * [] describes Humphrey and Goldmann more extensively, and quickly references Octopus.
