Visual Field Examination

Visual field examinations are covered when clinically indicated for a range of ocular, optic nerve, retinal, orbital, neurologic, vascular, congenital, traumatic, medication‑related, or functional vision problems (including documented glaucoma or glaucoma suspects and central vision ≤20/70). Exclusions include routine preoperative or follow-up visual fields for cataract patients without glaucoma or glaucoma suspicion and no pretreatment field required for established retinal detachment; frequency of testing is individualized (especially for glaucoma) and repeat exams for macular degeneration are only indicated for documented changes or postoperative evaluation.

"Visual field examination is covered for patients with inflammation or disorders of the eyelids that may affect the visual field."
