Virtual reality (VR) eye care technology company Virtual Vision Health has announced the launch of visual acuity testing on its Virtual Eye VR platform.1 According to a news release from the company, the VR platform “disrupt[s] traditional diagnostic methods by offering an untethered, all-in-one diagnostic solution that includes a variety of tests such as visual field, progression analysis, color sensitivity, and now visual acuity testing.”
"Virtual reality testing is the future of eye care," said Mark Latina, MD, of Advanced Glaucoma Specialists of Reading, Massachusetts, in the release. "We're moving away from bulky, stationary devices toward more efficient VR-based diagnostics. The Virtual Eye is wireless, portable, and allows testing anywhere in the office, making it a game-changer in patient care."
Allowing for delivery of real time data, the VR platform features a streamlined testing process for eye care providers to conduct multiple exams on a single platform. The device is also wireless and portable, with analytics available through Virtual Vision health’s WebbApp. The device also shortens testing times, which increases patient throughput while maintaining diagnostic accuracy, according to the company.1
"Our growth to over 1100 devices installed globally marks a significant milestone in our mission to modernize vision diagnostics and screen with VR," said Matteo Ziff, CEO of Virtual Vision Health, in the release. "With expanding product offerings and global reach, we remain committed to innovation and accessibility, driving the future of ophthalmic diagnostics and delivering scalable, high-impact solutions for eye care. Visual Acuity is just the beginning for this year."
