Scotomas located immediately nasal or temporal to fixation are known as?

Arcuate
Central
Paracentral
Peripheric

The correct answer is: Paracentral

Scotomas located immediately nasal or temporal to fixation are known as paracentral scotomas. These scotomas are typically smaller than central scotomas, which affect the central part of the visual field, and different from arcuate scotomas, which are typically arc-shaped and associated with certain conditions like glaucoma. Peripheric is not a recognized term in ophthalmology.
