Abstract:
Standard automated perimetery is considered the gold standard for evaluating a patient\'s visual field. However, it is costly and requires a fixed testing environment. In response, perimetric devices using virtual reality (VR) headsets have emerged as an alternative way to measure visual fields in patients. This systematic review aims to characterize both novel and established VR headsets in the literature and explore their potential applications within visual field testing. A search was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and the Core Collection (Web of Science) for articles published until January 2023. Subject headings and keywords related to virtual reality and visual field were used to identify studies specific to this topic. Records were first screened by title/abstract and then by full text using predefined criteria. Data was extracted accordingly. A total of 2404 records were identified from the databases. After deduplication and the two levels of screening, 64 studies describing 36 VR headset perimetry devices were selected for extraction. These devices encompassed various visual field measurement techniques, including static and kinetic perimetry, with some offering vision rehabilitation capabilities. This review reveals a growing consensus that VR headset perimetry devices perform comparably to, or even better than, standard automated perimetry. They are better tolerated by patients in terms of gaze fixation, more cost-effective, and generally more accessible for patients with limited mobility.
摘要: 标准自动视野仪被视作评估患者视野的金标准。然而, 它价格昂贵并且需要固定的测试环境。因此, 使用虚拟现实(VR)耳机的视野仪器成为测量患者视野的替代方法。本综述旨在描述文献中新颖的和成熟的的VR耳机, 并探索它们在视野测试中的潜在应用。使用MEDLINE、Embase、CINAHL和Core Collection(Web of Science)等数据库对2023年1月之前发表的文章进行检索。使用与虚拟现实和视野相关的主题标题和关键词来确定与该主题相关的研究。记录首先通过标题/摘要进行筛选, 然后使用预定义的标准进行全文筛选。提取相应数据。从数据库中共识别出2404条记录。经过删除重复数据和两级筛选后, 选择64项研究36个VR耳机视野测量装置进行提取。这些设备包括各种视野测量技术, 包括静态和动态视野测量, 其中有些提供视力康复功能。本综述揭示了一个日益增长的共识, 即VR耳机视野检查装置的性能与标准自动视野检查相当, 甚至更好。在固视方面它们更容易被患者耐受, 更具成本效益, 并且对行动受限的患者可行性更高。.
