MyVisualField\(^{©Static Test}\) the Visual Field Test Performed with a Smartphone and a Virtual Reality Visor: An Advance Study
2021
The aim of this study is to assess the possibility of using virtual reality to create a perimetric test which is usable by means of a mobile APP while retaining the essential elements of perimetry. Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy characterized by loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and typical visual field defects. With more than 60 million people affected, it is nowadays considered a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The MyVisualField (MVF) test simulates a static perimetry test, using a fixed focal point and light targets of varying intensity. Notwithstanding the limits imposed by the system not having been certified for clinical use, the set objectives - which were to use virtual reality to carry out a test which provides a graphic readout of sensitivity and the difference between diseased and normal – were achieved.
