Abstract: Visual field testing plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma. Currently, there are various portable visual field testing devices based on personal computers, tablet computers, virtual reality technology, and smartphones that can be used to monitor the visual function of glaucoma patients. For example, the Moorfields Motion Displacement Test (MMDT) based on personal computers and the Melbourne Rapid Fields (MRF) test on tablet computers have initially demonstrated feasibility in community and home settings, while the imo system based on virtual reality technology and the GearVision system based on smartphones have shown practicality. These visual field testing methods are portable, low-cost, relatively accurate, and highly accessible. They provide effective supplementary monitoring tools for glaucoma diagnosis and treatment, and meet the demands of telemedicine. However, there are still issues such as inconsistent screen parameters, resolution limitations, and the need for standardized testing environments that need to be addressed.(Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2024, 48:   241-247)
