Use of Virtual Reality Simulation to Identify Vision-Related Disability in Patients With Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Clinical assessment of vision-related disability is hampered by the lack of instruments to assess visual performance in real-world situations. Interactive virtual reality (VR) environments displayed in a binocular stereoscopic VR headset have been designed, presumably simulating day-to-day activities to evaluate vision-related disability.

Objective

To investigate the application of VR to identify vision-related disability in patients with glaucoma.

Design, setting, and participants

In a cross-sectional study, 98 patients with glaucoma and 50 healthy individuals were consecutively recruited from a university eye clinic; all participants were Chinese. The study was conducted between August 30, 2016, and July 31, 2017; data analysis was performed from December
