Seeing is likened to taking pictures on a camera film which is then developed. Your retina is like a camera film which stores an image of what you are looking at. The image directed onto your retina is then sent to your brain where it's processed, like developing a camera film!

Your Eye Examination will include some form of a #VisualFieldTest where your total peripheral vision is assessed. Defects in your periphery can indicate early signs of many eye conditions such as Glaucoma. It is another reason why routine eye examinations are so important.
