According to the release, the VisionOne device uses AI, virtual reality and eye tracking to conduct more efficient visual field testing. AI algorithms optimize the tests, automate assistance and provide insight for clinical decision-making.

“We want to develop a holistic platform comprising a portfolio of eye tests and AI tools to assist ophthalmologists and optometrists in their daily work,” Kevin Gillmann, MD, PhD, MBBS, MBA, PeriVision’s chief medical officer, said in the release. “Our ultimate goal is to build software tools that improve patient experience, disease management and clinic productivity.”
