Summary

To validate a new virtual reality (VR) based visual field test against the gold standard clinical perimetry test (Humphrey Visual field test 24-2).

Detailed description

Perimetry (or visual field testing) is a vision test used to evaluate a patient's peripheral vision. It involves a patient fixating on a central target and pressing a button when they see a spot of light in their peripheral vision. It is an important way of deciding whether Glaucoma is progressing or not. Next generation virtual reality (VR) technologies offer an exciting new way of conducting perimetry in either a clinical or home environment, allowing more affordable and more frequent monitoring of disease progression in glaucoma, and an easier and more comfortable experience for patients. The investigators propose to create a perimetry test using a commercially available head mounted display for VR, and to assess its accuracy in glaucoma patients in relation to standard automated perimetry.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Visual field testing using Oculus Rift and Humphrey Visual Field Perimeter	Glaucoma patients at Queen's University, Belfast, will be invited to undergo both Visual field testing using the Oculus Rift and the gold-standard Humphrey 24-2 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA) at two visits, and evaluating consistency for detecting visual field impairments.
