A prospective study of visual field defects associated with lesions of the visual pathway was carried out using kinetic and suprathreshold static stimuli with a view to establishing the most effective screening method for these field defects. The 215 abnormal fields so obtained showed that all field defects due to lesions of the visual pathways are detectable within 30 degrees of fixation and that not only is central field testing mandatory in excluding such a field defect, but more peripheral field testing alone is ineffective. This study also revealed that when kinetic fields are charted, it is probably not worthwhile searching for scotomata other than within the most central part of the field. Furthermore, where outer and inner isopter depression is not coextensive, inner isopters are always depressed more than outer isopters when the field defect is due to a lesion of the visual pathway.
