Vision Field Test Abnormal Results

Hello Doctor
I went for an regular eye check up last week. I did an Optomap of my eye and also couple of other tests. The Optomap was normal and all my nerves looked healthy. The eye pressure was also normal. I had problem with focusing as well and he said it might be my eye muscles and there is nothing serious. New glasses and exercises would take care of that. The doctor told me that i had some difficulty with vision field test and there were some abnormal results and he said its better if we do a more accurate test. He gave me an appointment for today, and i went and did the test. This one took longer. I'm pretty sure, i missed a good number of flashing dots on the test. The doctor said he needs to study the results and will contact me soon.But i have a feeling i did very bad on the test. I'm very worried and have started thinking about the worst case scenario which would be the loss of vision. I slept 3 hours last night before doing the test, i dont know if that could make the eyes tired and miss some points. not sure!
Any ideas on what might be causing this? Should i be worried?

thank you doctor

maybe he just wanted to charge me for all these tests!

anyways so if the Optomap looks good and my eye pressure is normal,should i rest assured there is nothing serious going on with my eyes? Would some error on vision field test be considered normal?

I am not sure why you had all these test with normal pressures and the nerves were healthy.  This does not justify these test.  Please make sure your are seeing an ophthalmologist.
