Vision field testing worries
23 years old... went for thorough eye exam, pressure good, all well. i did the VTS on the perimeter, i passed - but I am a very nervous person, i accidently clicked the button a couple times. Do these machines take into account human errors and do they only signify times it was pressed during a flash and put the false clicks to another side or?
Sorry I meant VFT. So nothing to worry about? the tech would be aware of my false positives and still passed it?

On the internet we cannot give individual exact diagnosis. You should discuss your concerns with the eye doctor that ordered the test. A visual field test is not part of a routine exam for a 23 year old.
Not sure what VTS means. The software program tests a persona perhaps 15-17 times for false positives (clicks when shouldn't) and false negatives (doesn't click when should). Some test a miss twice before recording it as a miss. If there are too many false positives and negatives the test is deemed not reliable.
