In fact, while many people with vision problems will be said to have 20\/200 vision, the actual range of sight issues they have can vary quite considerably. For some people it may mean complete loss of sight, but for others, it can mean a wide range of issues that severely restrict their vision in different ways. One of the more common of those is peripheral vision loss, which is often referred to as tunnel vision. But what is peripheral vision, what causes the loss, and how can we prevent it?<\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Common Causes of Peripheral Vision Problems<\/span><\/h2><p>Eye diseases are a significant issue for anyone because even minor problems can result in long term vision challenges, and they are the main causes of peripheral vision problems. These include:<\/p><ul><li>Glaucoma \u2013 A disease of the optic nerve that can cause a number of vision issues.<\/li><li>Retinal eye diseases \u2013 Including macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, retinal vein occlusion, optic neuritis and diabetes-related retinopathy<\/li><li>Stroke \u2013Loss of peripheral vision can be a lasting effect after a stroke.<\/li><li>Migraine Headaches<\/li><li>Concussion<\/li><li>Hypertension<\/li><li>Some types of artery disease<\/li><\/ul><p>Glaucoma and various retinal eye diseases tend to cause permanent peripheral vision loss, however in the case of many of these illnesses and diseases, the tunnel vision effect may be temporary. In all cases it is crucial that professional medical help is sought immediately to ensure that everything that can be done to mitigate the issue is put into practice.<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19346\" src=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Common-Causes-of-Peripheral-Vision-Problems.webp\" alt=\"common causes of peripheral vision problems\" width=\"800\" height=\"568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Common-Causes-of-Peripheral-Vision-Problems.webp 1748w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Common-Causes-of-Peripheral-Vision-Problems-300x213.webp 300w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Common-Causes-of-Peripheral-Vision-Problems-1024x726.webp 1024w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Common-Causes-of-Peripheral-Vision-Problems-768x545.webp 768w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Common-Causes-of-Peripheral-Vision-Problems-1536x1090.webp 1536w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Common-Causes-of-Peripheral-Vision-Problems-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Symptoms of Peripheral Vision Problems<\/span><\/h2><p>In most cases, peripheral vision loss doesn\u2019t happen immediately, and is a gradual process that gets progressively worse over time. Peripheral vision problems are not always easy to recognize though, as they affect your field of vision (FOV), but in a very specific way. There are two types of vision that make up how we see the world around us with healthy vision, the first is central vision. This refers to the objects that are directly in front of you, that are in the center of your vision when your eyes are pointed at something. This is where the eyes focus, which is why objects in this central vision are sharper and clearer than anywhere else in your vision range, even if you have completely healthy eyesight.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-19351\" src=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Symptoms-of-Peripheral-Vision-Problems.webp\" alt=\"symptoms of peripheral vision problems\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Symptoms-of-Peripheral-Vision-Problems.webp 940w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Symptoms-of-Peripheral-Vision-Problems-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Symptoms-of-Peripheral-Vision-Problems-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Symptoms-of-Peripheral-Vision-Problems-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>The second type of vision is peripheral vision. This is the areas surrounding that central vision area, where your eyes are not as tightly focused, that tends to be a little less sharp. Sometimes called side vision, it is what we see from the corner of our eyes, and can be incredibly useful when driving, riding a bike or any number of other activities.<\/p><p>C'est cette deuxi\u00e8me zone de la vision, la vision p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique, qui est affect\u00e9e par la perte de vision p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique. Cela peut commencer par une vision p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique floue, ou peut simplement sembler plus sombre vers les bords, r\u00e9duisant ainsi votre champ de vision de mani\u00e8re \u00e0 ce que vous puissiez voir moins que vous ne le pourriez normalement.<\/p><p>As you lose side vision, so the width of your overall vision decreases and you can see little beyond that central vision area, this is known as the tunnel vision effect. This is because it mimics the effect of standing in a dark tunnel looking out of the opening at bright sunlight. You see that central part clearly, but everything else is dark, indistinct and lacking in clarity.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-19348\" src=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/how-do-people-lose-their-peripheral-vision.webp\" alt=\"how do people lose their peripheral vision\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/how-do-people-lose-their-peripheral-vision.webp 940w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/how-do-people-lose-their-peripheral-vision-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/how-do-people-lose-their-peripheral-vision-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/how-do-people-lose-their-peripheral-vision-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>C'est l'effet de la perte de vision p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique, et il est vraiment important de demander une assistance m\u00e9dicale si vous remarquez un d\u00e9but de probl\u00e8me, m\u00eame s'il semble mineur. Vous pouvez passer un test de vision p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique avec votre ophtalmologiste si vous avez des inqui\u00e9tudes, mais la bonne nouvelle est que de nombreux types de probl\u00e8mes de vision p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique peuvent \u00eatre trait\u00e9s, et que plusieurs causes de probl\u00e8mes de vision p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique peuvent \u00eatre \u00e9vit\u00e9es gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des choix de mode de vie raisonnables.<\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Peripheral Vision Tests<\/span><\/h2><p>The best way to maintain your eye health and prevent eye diseases of all kinds, including the loss of peripheral vision, is by having regular eye exams. These allow your ophthalmologist to spot problems early, and with a treatable problem like tunnel vision that can make all the difference. This is especially true for anyone suffering from diabetes, where annual eye exams should be a minimum, and can often be the different in treating your vision problems.<\/p><p>There are three types of eye test that can be useful in dealing with peripheral vision issues, these are:<\/p><h3>Test visuel de confrontation<\/h3><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-19347\" src=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Confrontation-Visual-Test.webp\" alt=\"confrontation visual test\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Confrontation-Visual-Test.webp 940w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Confrontation-Visual-Test-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Confrontation-Visual-Test-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Confrontation-Visual-Test-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>A simple test most people will be familiar with, it involves covering one eye and having the doctor or eye care technician hold up fingers for you to count within your peripheral vision. This is then repeated with the other eye. Simple and easy to administer, it gives a broad idea of the level of side vision someone has, however as it used no instruments for measurement, it may not always catch small side vision defects.<\/p><h3>Automated Static Perimetry test<\/h3><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-19345\" src=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Automated-Static-Perimetry-test.webp\" alt=\"automated static perimetry test\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Automated-Static-Perimetry-test.webp 940w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Automated-Static-Perimetry-test-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Automated-Static-Perimetry-test-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Automated-Static-Perimetry-test-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Ce test utilise un appareil sp\u00e9cialement con\u00e7u pour tester la vision p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique, connu sous le nom de P\u00e9rim\u00e8tre. Un \u0153il est couvert et le patient est invit\u00e9 \u00e0 appuyer sur un bouton chaque fois qu'il voit appara\u00eetre des lumi\u00e8res. Les lumi\u00e8res sont situ\u00e9es tout autour de la zone, \u00e0 la fois dans la vision centrale et dans la vision lat\u00e9rale, et apparaissent dans un ordre al\u00e9atoire. Une fois le test termin\u00e9 avec un \u0153il, il est r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9 avec l'autre. Le fait de ne pas noter l'apparition de certaines lumi\u00e8res peut mettre en \u00e9vidence une perte de la vision p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique dans certaines zones, ce qui permet \u00e0 l'ophtalmologiste d'approfondir son examen. Ce test est particuli\u00e8rement utile pour identifier les probl\u00e8mes caus\u00e9s par le glaucome.<\/p><h3>Test visuel cin\u00e9tique<\/h3><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-19349\" src=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kinetic-Visual-Test.webp\" alt=\"kinetic visual test\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kinetic-Visual-Test.webp 940w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kinetic-Visual-Test-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kinetic-Visual-Test-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kinetic-Visual-Test-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>The last type of peripheral vision test, which also uses the same dedicated perimeter machine as the previous test. Here though, light moves in and out of your side vision, rather than appearing in one place and disappearing after. This approach allows a more accurate understanding of where the issues with peripheral vision begin in terms of the field of view, and are particularly useful for diagnosing retinal diseases and neuro ophthalmological issues.<\/p><p>La sant\u00e9 visuelle est \u00e9galement li\u00e9e \u00e0 l'\u00e9tat de sant\u00e9 g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, de sorte qu'une alimentation saine, beaucoup d'exercice et un mode de vie sain en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral peuvent avoir un impact consid\u00e9rable. La protection des yeux en fait \u00e9galement partie, mais comme de nombreux probl\u00e8mes entra\u00eenant une perte temporaire de la vision p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique sont associ\u00e9s \u00e0 un manque g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de sant\u00e9, faire l'effort de maintenir un mode de vie plus sain peut vraiment \u00eatre la meilleure approche pour la sant\u00e9 des yeux \u00e9galement.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-19350 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/raise-awareness-of-optometry-196x300.webp\" alt=\"raise awareness of optometry\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/raise-awareness-of-optometry-196x300.webp 196w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/raise-awareness-of-optometry-670x1024.webp 670w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/raise-awareness-of-optometry-8x12.webp 8w, https:\/\/zoomax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/raise-awareness-of-optometry.webp 765w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/>However, while taking care of yourself is great advice, with regular eye exams to identify issues early, you may still find problems that need treating. Tunnel vision is one of the more common eye diseases we suffer from, and as a result there is extensive medical understanding of the disease and its treatment.<\/p><p>In general, tunnel vision is treated by dealing with the underlying issue that is causing it. Whether that is glaucoma, retinal diseases and so on, by solving this issue in a large number of cases, the loss of peripheral vision is also resolved too. In a similar way, issues caused by strokes, hypertension, concussion and migraines tend to be temporary too, and as the underlying issue is dealt with, so the vision health issue will be too.<\/p><p>Cependant, dans certains cas, la perte de la vision p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique est permanente, et l'objectif est alors d'aider les patients \u00e0 g\u00e9rer leur condition pour qu'elle ait un impact aussi minime que possible.
