The other main type of automated field is a binocular one. These are principally used to assess homonymous fields in a more functional setting as both eyes are tested at the same time [25]. A wide field is used (usually 160° along the horizontal meridian) with more of the 120 test points in the lower than upper field. A single threshold is tested at each point, and although this varies with the hill of vision, the brightness of the stimulus is at the upper end of the perceptual threshold for most patients.
In the next set of experiments foveal vision remained unmasked while they gradually brought the mask in from peripheral vision to interfere with parafoveal vision. When the mask was advanced from the left of fixation, no interference with reading was caused until the mask encroached on foveal vision. However, when the mask was bought in from the right of fixation, readers started to slow down (although remain accurate), as the mask encroached from 20 characters to the right of fixation (about 5°).
