Thanks SewExtreme for commenting. Yes, I had my eyes dilated and not sure what a field vision test is. I would think that they would have done every test imaginable at the specialist, because I was once diagnosed with Histoplasmosis Disease in the eye and suppose to be checked every year or two by a specialist. That is what scarred my retina for it wasn't found in time before damage to my eye. It was an infection in the eye and therefore scarred my eye for life. They say it is caused from fumes from pigeon or poultry droppings. Never was around any pigeons, but my mom always had chickens while growing up and my husband also raised quail and pheasants as a hobby. So could have gotten the disease anywhere. When this disease was discovered with me it started with me seeing double vision. I was probably around 30 years old then, now 58. My sister also has the same disease but not in her eyes. She has it on her lungs. I have troubles judging distance because I have no peripheral vision. Yes, it is disturbing when you can't even judge where the hole is to thread a needle. Never where you try to aim for. Right now I am trying to find the holes on my serger to put the needles back in. Sorry, I get carried away with the topic. Didn't mean to type this much, but guess it is a lot to explain to one.
