Reduction of Field of View

Went to the optician's to be tested prior to ordering new specs last week. The field of view test - the one where you stare at a red light and press a button each time you see a green light at random positions around it - was no problem for my right eye, but my left eye failed it. The optician then took a closer look and referred me to my GP, who has pushed me on to an Opthalmologist. No one at this stage is willing to tell me what might be the cause - have looked at Macular Degeneration, but discounted it, as it appears to affect central rather than peripheral vision; would welcome any educated guesses, or advice from fellow Ppruners with a similar condition......
