■ Olleyes VisuALL-K technology was able to effectively map out the visual field of pediatric patients, while also increasing patient satisfaction with the testing procedure, according to a study conducted at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in collaboration with the University of Iowa and Wheaton Eye Clinic. VisuALL-K leverages virtual reality technology as part of an innovative platform that can be used to map visual field defects. The head-mounted device is adjustable and allows for a better fit and improved comfort in pediatric patients. The study, which was led by Sylvia L. Groth, MD, assistant professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, revealed that the patients found the headset more engaging and were more willing to complete the testing.

The Olleyes VisuALL virtual reality platform is a valuable tool for monitoring the integrity of the afferent visual pathways in children and can aid in the early detection and diagnosis of conditions such as glaucoma. “We believe that the Olleyes VisuALL-K will make visual field testing more engaging and interactive for children, leading to more accurate results and better outcomes,” Dr. Groth said in a news release.
