I use my full size computer monitor for my field vision test. Cover one eye at a time with a removable dot in the center of a blank black screen and move around the cursor. It will show exactly every area you want to see where you are missing eye sight. The cursor will dim or go completely off where there is no or little eye sight in that area. Only problem is that you won’t have any print out on the results.
