title: [The evaluation of binocular visual field and clinical application of glaucoma].
abstract: Visual field is an important means of the assessment of visual function. In our daily life, the actual visual function is consist of both eyes. Therefore, the binocular visual field test is significant to understand the real visual function. Currently, the binocular vision assessment methods included Esterman visual test and Integrated visual fields. The IVF includes: binocular summation, best location, best eye and average eye. In this review, the significance of binocular visual field inspection, binocular visual field integration methods and its practical application in daily life and clinical glaucoma research work are summarized. We hope that it can do some favors to clinical and scientific researches of assessment and application of binocular visual field.(Chin J Ophthalmol, 2016, 52: 872-875).
