Purpose: Recent studies approximate that nearly 900,000 individuals suffer from vision-threatening retinopathy in the United States alone. Early detection of retinal disease matters for timely interventions, however, access to vision screening continues to be a limiting factor. Advancements in virtual reality (VR) technologies allow for the digitalization of several tests used in vision screening. In the present clinical study, our group assessed the viability of VR in administering perimetry, color vision, and Amsler grid exams.

Methods: We performed a non-inferiority trial at the Mount Sinai 102 nd street Ophthalmology Practice, in which patients received a 24-2 Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer (HVFA) exam, Ishihara Tile test, and an Amsler Grid along with the VR (VIVE Pro and PICO headset) analogues in a randomized fashion. The perimetry analogue is a 24-2 vision field exam with 25 Apostilibs. The Ishihara analogue …
