Set Up Your Profile

After successfully logging in, it’s important to set up your profile to tailor the experience to your specific needs. Navigate to the profile settings area, accessible from your account dashboard. Here, you can fill in additional information such as your age, medical history, and any known eye conditions if applicable. Providing this information will help in analyzing your test results in context, especially if you are seeking to monitor changes over time. Make sure to save any changes you make before moving on.

Choose a Test Mode

At this stage, you will need to decide between two testing modes: 'Simple' and 'Advanced'. The 'Simple' mode is designed for a quick check of your peripheral vision without the need for calibration. It’s an ideal starting point for beginners. On the other hand, the 'Advanced' mode is more comprehensive, requiring you to calibrate your screen. This mode uses threshold testing to measure sensitivity levels at various points across your visual field and can provide more detailed results, particularly beneficial if you're tracking existing conditions. Choose the mode that best fits your needs after considering the information provided.

Prepare for the Test

Preparation is essential before you begin the test. Follow the on-screen instructions for setting up your device properly. Make sure you are in a well-lit room, and your device's screen is clean to avoid any obstruction that could affect the test. Ensure that you do not have any distractions around you, as this could lead to inaccurate results. For the 'Advanced' mode, carefully follow the calibration steps, adjusting your screen settings as needed for optimal performance during the test.

Conduct the Test

When you're ready, initiate the test. For the 'Simple' mode, the test will take a few minutes as you follow simple prompts indicating where to click based on the visual cues you see. Stay focused; clicking on the correct areas as instructed will ensure your results are as accurate as possible. For the 'Advanced' mode, be prepared for a slightly longer test where you will be measuring your visual sensitivity at designated points. Pay attention to each prompt and respond accordingly.

Review Your Results

After completing the test, your results will be processed and displayed immediately on the screen. Take your time to review the information presented. The results may include visual field maps that indicate areas of your sight that may require further attention. Understanding your results is crucial; should you notice any significant changes, consider consulting an eye care professional for further evaluation. If you have questions about what the results mean, refer to our FAQ section or contact our support team.

Track Your Progress

To monitor any changes in your peripheral vision over time, utilize the 'View History' feature in your account. This section allows you to track previous test results, making it easy to see how your vision may be changing. Regular testing and keeping a record can provide valuable insights into your eye health, assisting you and your healthcare provider in making informed decisions.
