Can I just ask you one more thing, is it also normal that I notice my blind spot if my nose blocks out my right eye? For instance say if I am looking to the left, my right eye can see my nose but as I look with my left eye I can notice my blind spot. Is that normal? thank you
If one blind spot was bigger than the other when you had your VF last time I believe the Eye MD or even a non-MD optom would tell you if the blind spot was enlarged.
So I would say no it doesn't make any difference in my recommendation.

I dont know if this makes a difference but last year I had a full visual field test and found nothing, I was told I did have a abnormal corneal shape and an astigmatism, where the left eye is the lazy eye. Would this make a difference?
Well it needs to be checked by an Eye MD ophthalmolost. When you schedule the appointment ask to schedule a visual field test also. Find an Eye MD at www.aao.org
That could represent swelling of the optic nerve, drusen of the optic nerve, a larger than normal optic nerve, or inflamation or scarring around the optic nerve head.
