My understanding is that it's not how many you get. But how many you miss and where they are and do any overlap and create blind spots. If I remember Glaucoma UK does have an explanation of this.
Hi! You may have already found this Glaucoma Uk leaflet but incase you haven’t here it is:
glaucoma.uk/wp-content/uplo...
It does explain about the location of missed points.
And here’s the detail from DVLA website:
Defect affecting central area only (Esterman within 20 degree radius of fixation)
Only for the purposes of licensing Group 1 car and motorcycle driving:
the following are generally regarded as acceptable central loss
scattered single missed points
a single cluster of up to 3 adjoining points
the following are generally regarded as unacceptable (‘significant’) central loss:
a cluster of 4 or more adjoining points that is either wholly or partly within the central 20° area
loss consisting of both a single cluster of 3 adjoining missed points up to and including 20° from fixation, and any additional separate missed points within the central 20° area
any central loss that is an extension of hemianopia or quadrantanopia of size greater than 3 missed points
Defect affecting the peripheral areas – width assessment
Only for the purposes of licensing Group 1 car and motorcycle driving:
the following will be disregarded when assessing the width of field
a cluster of up to 3 adjoining missed points, unattached to any other area of defect, lying on or across the horizontal meridian
a vertical defect of only single-point width but of any length, unattached to any other area of defect, which touches or cuts through the horizontal meridian
