1. A method for performing a subjective visual field test to evaluate a user's monocular peripheral vision at specific loci, without a need for dedicated professional equipment or qualified professional supervision, but instead via use of at least one computing device configured to access at least one dedicated visual field test server accessible via a communications network, the method including:
receiving a request from a user to perform a visual field test via the at least one computing device;
acquiring predetermined user identification data from the user and/or the at least one computing device in response to predetermined instructions from the at least one dedicated visual field test server;
presenting or providing for a required number of iterations at least one test image to the user via at least one display of the at least one computing device, the at least one test image including at least one test target contained therein that is shown at at least one predetermined location in the user's peripheral visual field, whilst the user is gazing at a focus point;
instructing the user to identify if they have detected the presence of at least one of the at least one test target(s) contained within the at least one test image;
acquiring response data associated with the user's attempt to identify the at least one test target(s) contained within the at least one test image;
aggregating and/or analysing, via the at least one dedicated visual test server, acquired user identification data and/or response data utilizing a test algorithm which determines overall result data; and,
presenting or providing the visual field test overall result data to the user via the at least one computing device;
wherein the predetermined user identification data acquired from the user and/or the at least one computing device includes data which is used to configure test parameters for performance of the visual field test:
wherein the at least one predetermined location of the at least one test target shown in the user's peripheral visual field may vary with each required iteration of the presentation or provision of the at least one test image; and,
wherein the at least one test target(s) is circular and waveform in appearance and the apparent waveform traverses the at least one test target(s).
