Confrontation Visual Fields Technique

[@eddydelrio1303]

I'm a physician and this is by far the best and most accurate and useful presentation on confrontation testing in a sea of c&^p. Thank you.

[@SharonAlamalhodaei]

Thank you, Dr.

[@Dustin_Platt]

I'm in the process of getting my CTO and I love your videos in general, including this CVF demo. Thank you!

[@robincichy453]

Thank you for explaining the "why" as you do the testing. Excellent resource!

[@avb4859]

this was JUST what I needed! Thank you for such a great explanation!

[@delilahjones6496]

Thank you for such a wonderful explanation. I was practicing this skill in my nursing class and doing it wrong, but there is no explanation in my book on why you have to do the test with the stimulus half-way between you and your patient. Your explanation helped me understand this and will help me do it correctly in the future.

[@SharonAlam]

Delilah Jones i am so glad to hear that! Sometimes it’s one little bit of info that helps make it all make sense!

[@MsOynx]

Ms. Sharon you are a life saver! Thank you for all this wonderful information. This is helping me greatly!!

[@JennaK-s8n]

So much better of an explanation than my textbook or class information!

Ariel Glaze I love those ophthalmic puns :)

[@stever5656]

U and my girlfriend have the same name

[@allypurvis]

so glad that you are showing this correctly. I see too many techs with "T-Rex" arms and not actually measuring anything!

[@SharonAlam]

Alberta Purvis I like the visual!

[@jeepj27]

Awesome explanation Sharon! One of the things I have techs ask all the time about this is how to record abnormalities in a specific quadrant in the PATIENT point of view versus OUR (Examiner) point of view since the docs seem to always want it pathological. I would love to have you explain this as you may do a much better job than me!

[@SharonAlamalhodaei]

The standard in ophthalmology, John is to document from the patient's point of view as this is how automated VFs are recorded. That being said, if your physician wants it from the examiner's point of view that's what you must do HOWEVER it should be documented as such ... "documented from the examiner's point of view" so when your records go out to other practitioners it is clear how it was documented. Another method is to simply note "defect is in supero-nasal quadrant of VF OD"

[@SharonAlam]

John Pignone Reed yes, VFs are documented from the patient’s point of view; not the examiner’s point of view. This is how automated VF print out are oriented and is the standard way to document defects. An easy way to flip it around from your view to the patient’s view is to document the defect on a scrap piece of paper as you see it, then FLIP THE PAPER OVER, hold the paper up to a light so you can see what you drew and draw the defect as it looks like from the back of the paper. Alternatively, the examiner can document the defect by naming the quad ie “constriction in superonasal quadrant OD”

kick ass explanation Sharon!! Thank you!!

[@redroverventures]

Agree, I was searching the internet for a VF video for my new staff member. This is spot on so I am sending my staff to her Texas class. Great job, gifted teacher so keep them coming. Naysayers lack the moxie to leave their names

[@Snelkrdfswhbdsf]

Amazing explanation.

[@thevoiceofprophecytoday]

Blessings for your courage to educate publicly. Helpful Mam.

[@SharonAlamalhodaei]

Gideon Osei i am so glad to help you!

[@racepro1283]

Hello Sharon can you please do a demonstration video of how to raise and lower an optometry exam chair?? And demonstrate how those functions work? That would be really nice. Please Thank you, Marc

[@catherinedwyer1703]

Excellent demonstration, Sharon! Very helpful.

Nice 👍 information ℹ️ mam.

[@mahnoormasood9437]

Very good

[@duzntmatter5926]

Very well explained!

[@justjessica85]

I didn't understand the initial exercise (guess I did it wrong?) but the rest made sense to me.

[@mohammedalnamlah3523]

thank you

[@dfgervaWxA]

this definitely requires a more sofisticated technology to measure
