New Message on Pituitary Chat Visual Fields Test Reply   Recommend Message 2 in Discussion From: PTResearcher You should definitely have an MRI to check for any growth. You should also have a visual fields test done. I would recommend having one at least every 12 months if you have growth or new symptoms.   I have visual fields tests every 6-9 months and an MRI every 12 because my pit tumor is 1cm and close to my optic nerve. It is very important to see a neuro-ophthalmologist for a complete exam if you have growth or visual disturbances.   I know the tests aren't much fun (trust me, I know), but they are very important to maintaining your vision. Every patient that has been diagnosed with a pit tumor, regardless of size, should have visual fields tests and be seen by a specialist in ophthalmology.    Take care. Go get that MRI!   Meri View other groups in this category.
