Abstract
Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness, is characterized by the progressive degeneration of optic nerve fibers. Early detection and timely intervention are paramount to prevent vision loss. Traditional visual field tests, while effective, can sometimes be cumbersome and may not be universally accessible. Integrating Virtual Reality (VR) with Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a promising avenue to enhance visual field testing for glaucoma detection. The VR-based visual field test system provides an immersive environment, potentially increasing patient compliance and test accuracy. When combined with AI, the system can analyze patient responses in real-time, adjust test parameters, and offer immediate feedback. This synergy between VR and AI not only ensures a patient-friendly experience but also offers adaptability, allowing for personalized testing. Utilizing this VR-AI integrated approach can potentially identify glaucomatous changes earlier than traditional methods. This innovative technology promises to make glaucoma detection more accessible, efficient, and timely, paving the way for a future where preventable vision loss due to glaucoma is significantly reduced.
