Systems and methods for improved visual field testing

A method for performing a visual field test of a patient using a visual field testing device having a refractive correction element, a patient support, and a motor operably attached to one of the refractive correction element or the patient support for changing the location of the refractive correction element relative to the patient support, said method comprising:

• positioning the patient's head relative to the visual field testing device using the patient support;
• collecting an image of the patient's eye, said image displaying the position of the eye relative to the refractive correction element;
• determining the relative displacement of the patient's eye with respect to the refractive correction element based on the collected image;
• actuating the motor in a manner to reduce the determined displacement;
• displaying a series of test stimuli to the eye of the patient;
• receiving responses to the test stimuli from the patient;
• analyzing the received responses to make an assessment of the patient's visual field;
• and
• displaying or storing the assessment or a further analysis thereof.
