How to accurately do the visual field test if you have very poor vision (like -10 myopia)?

I went to my eye doctor about six months ago, and I failed the visual field test. And by failing it, I mean that I couldn’t see anything. It was the most stressful test I’ve ever done. They made me look at a dot, and then there were the squiggly lines that would appear but I wouldn’t be able to see most of them. I feel like I couldn’t do well on the test because I was doing it without my glasses and my pupils were dilated. As someone with -10 myopia and -3 astigmatism, these tests are very hard for me to complete without any correction like glasses. Is there anything I can ask for them to accommodate my poor vision? The last test ended with me in tears and a referral to a glaucoma specialist at the hospital, which is tomorrow lol…. I feel I might have done better if things weren’t so blurry!
