It may be unilateral or bilateral and usually develops gradually. (See Comparing tunnel vision with normal vision.) This abnormality results from chronic open-angle glaucoma and advanced retinal degeneration. Tunnel vision may also result from laser photocoagulation [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]therapy[/COLOR][/COLOR], which aims to correct retinal detachment. Also a common complaint of malingerers, tunnel vision can be verified or discounted by visual field examination performed by an ophthalmologist."

    Forget about VSP! Get this person to an MD ASAP!

    In this case the patient would have tunnel vision without the glasses on, correct?

    Yeah, you'd think in any case they would. But again, the "symptoms" are so numerous, it's hard to know where start...the "unsuited lenses", the "uneveness", or the "beer barrel vision".:bbg:
