Remote perimetry in a virtual reality metaverse environment for out-of-hospital functional eye screening compared against the gold standard Humphrey visual fields perimeter: proof-of-concept pilot study

Abstract

The growing global burden of visual impairment necessitates better population eye screening for early detection of eye diseases. However, accessibility to testing is often limited and centralized at in-hospital settings. Furthermore, many eye screening programs were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, presenting an urgent need for out-of-hospital solutions.
