VR Perimetry May Match HVF in Glaucoma

Virtual reality testing shortened visual field exams and was preferred among most patients in a retrospective study.

1

Virtual reality perimetry provides visual field measurements comparable to Humphrey Visual Field testing in glaucoma patients.
2

Testing duration with VR perimetry is significantly shorter, averaging 122 seconds compared to 253 seconds for HVF testing.
3

Patient preference leaned heavily towards VR perimetry, with 41 out of 48 patients favoring it over HVF testing.
4

Reliability metrics showed lower fixation loss rates with VR perimetry, attributed to continuous eye tracking.
5

The study's limitations include its retrospective design, modest sample size, and lack of evaluation for longitudinal monitoring.
