  after taking a visual field test the results were:
                           left eye 63/120
                          right eye 86/120
     Can you tell me what my field of vision is?
     Is it less than 140 degrees?
     I don't know how it is determined.

you had a particular type of visual field done called a 120 point screen.the numbers are simply  now while you did have a high miss rate, i cannot convert that specifically to degree of VF loss except to say that it is probably less then 140 degrees in the left eye, and may be in the rightDisclaimer
