Peripheral Vision

After all of the poking and prodding that I have gone through, I think one of more unpleasant tests is totally non-invasive. It is a test of your peripheral vision. You have to look with one eye into a box and then press a button whenever a tiny dim light appears. This goes on for several minutes and is very stressful. I'm good at test taking, but I have serious anxiety with it. I am always thinking, "Did I really see that? Oh no.. Did I miss one?"

In any case I am happy to report that my peripheral vision is still okay. I have to have it checked every 6 months or so because my pituitary involvement. Apparently the optic chiasma is near the pituitary so they think the WG lesion might spread there. All is well for now at least. :)
