A method for diagnosing deficiencies in and expanding the size of a person's "Useful Field Of View" (UFOV"). The UFOV is determined by the eccentricity (in degrees of visual angle) at which peripheral targets (presented within an embedding context) can be localized 50% of the time while performing a concurrent visual task in central vision. The method provides multiple blocks of trials, each block of trials consists of displaying a plurality of times before a subject's vision a set of four sequentially presented images having specific characteristics, and the specific characteristics of each block of trials is changed each time a new block of trials is displayed before the subject. By changing the characteristics of each block of trials, a diagnosis can be made of the subject's vision by creating a subject database that contains the subject's indicated responses to each block of trials having specific characteristics and comparing the subject database to a normative diagnostic database in order to achieve a diagnosis. The method also employs training programs to expand the size of the subject's UFOV.
