Tunnel vision [Gun barrel vision, tubular vision]:
History and physical examination
(Handbook of Signs & Symptoms (Third Edition))
Ask the patient when he first noticed a loss of peripheral vision, and have him describe the progression of vision loss. Ask him to describe in detail exactly what and how far he can see peripherally. Explore the patient’s personal and family history for ocular problems, especially progressive blindness that began at an early age.
To rule out malingering, observe the patient as he walks. A patient with severely limited peripheral vision typically bumps into objects (and may even have bruises), whereas the malingerer manages to avoid them.
If your examination findings suggest tunnel vision, refer the patient to an ophthalmologist for further evaluation.
