The Esterman visual field test (EVFT) is now available on the Humphrey field analyser. In 25 patients with treated diabetic retinopathy the EVFT has been compared with other forms of perimetry currently accepted by the UK Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA). Twenty-four patients passed and one patient failed the DVLA field recommendations. The data indicates that the EVFT has the potential to be used for reliable field assessment and guidelines are given relating to EVFT score. (A)
