Social networks claim that video tests for peripheral vision can replace MRI and check brain function. This is wrong. And here is the reason: online tests are not a substitute for a medical examination. They can help you independently check your vision, but they do not allow you to reliably assess the state of the nervous system and identify possible disorders. Peripheral vision is only checked by an ophthalmologist. For this purpose, a special study is used - perimetry, which allows determining the limits of the field of vision. The doctor can also perform simple tests without special equipment, but their results are evaluated taking into account complaints and other test data. MRI is also not a universal way to test brain function. This study is prescribed for specific indications when it is necessary to clarify the diagnosis. The need for additional tests is determined by the doctor. If the vision deteriorates or part of the surrounding space falls out of the eye, you should contact an ophthalmologist. And for other worrisome symptoms—for example, recurring headaches, memory loss, imbalance, or persistent numbness in the limbs—see a neurologist.
