I don't know if they have to be separate here in Louisiana. The WalMart I go to has pretty much the same stuff everyone else does, and they don't have the visual field test. I had one of those when I had an eye exam from a LensCrafters doctor when I lived in another city. The only pressure test I've ever had is the puff of air. The Wal Mart doctor I think did a more thorough exam than the independent I went to on the recommendation of my wife's coworker. She took around 20 minutes as opposed to 10. Finding a good optometrist isn't easy, even with referrals, it's a crapshoot. RedStickHam -- Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
