NILES, Ill., July 7, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Researchers at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine and the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences recently completed a pilot study showing that a virtual reality headset can be used to reliably diagnose and monitor visual field loss in glaucoma patients. This study paves the way for wider adoption of such headsets, which will not only make testing quicker and more comfortable, but also more accessible for patients with mobility issues. This in turn would mean better screening and early detection of glaucoma in vulnerable parts of the population.

Key Points: 
  • This in turn would mean better screening and early detection of glaucoma in vulnerable parts of the population.
  • The study was conducted by two University of Iowa researchers who compared performance of a Smart System Virtual Reality Perimeter (SSVR) from M&S Technologies with a more traditional testing device, the Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA).
  • Contrastingly, the SSVR is a head-mounted device that many users are already familiar with through other contexts, such as gaming.
  • The M&S SSVR is commercially available for use in visual field testing as well as numerous functional tests.
