Re: [tips] Split fovea (was: Crazy question...)

This is all very interesting (and not so crazy a question). Incautiously (i.e. off the top of my head), wouldn't a visual field loss with macular sparing fit into this? Such a perimetry chart would show intact foveal representation despite a complete hemifield loss. The rationale has always been th
