Two simple bedside tests of saccadic eye movements between 2 fingers as targets was used to study 23 hemianopic patients. With these tests, confirmation or, in malingering, exclusion of a hemianopia was provided. The amount of ocular motor compensation for the loss of 1/2 of the visual field could be estimated, and visual hemineglect was demonstrated. The findings in some cases with chronic homonymous hemianopia suggested extrastriate vision.
