Computerized Visual Field Defects in Posterior Cortical Atrophy
Neurol 77:2119-2122, Pelak, V.S.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
CVF defects were characterized by homonymous visual field defects or bilateral constriction. Eight of 9patients progressed to probable or definite AD, but the CVF defects were distinctly different from those in typical AD. This observation probably reflects a posterior shift of cortical pathology to the primary and early secondary visual cortices in PCA. CVF testing should be considered in older patients with unexplained visual complaints, particularly when associated with difficulty driving, which may indicate the possibility of PCA and prompt early neurobehavioral evaluation.
