Visual Field Test

A novel virtual reality head-mounted perimetry device showed “excellent” correlation with standard automated perimetry and a high ability to discriminate between healthy and glaucomatous visual fields.

Static and dynamic visual acuity go hand in hand when it comes to successfully carrying out everyday activities. No matter the occupation, we need both good eyesight — visual acuity — and good vision — the ability to process what is seen — to get the job done effectively.

Virtual reality visual field testing can provide a practical and convenient means of screening for and monitoring glaucoma in settings where standard automated perimetry is limited or unavailable.

As a so-called expert witness, my analysis of more than 400 cases over the past 4.5 decades reveals that most cases could have been avoided if the malpractice merely covered the bases.
