Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It is hypothesized that performing VF measurements with a Virtual Reality headset using similar testing strategies as implemented in conventional perimeters, allow for a non-inferior quality in VF acquisitions. The results of this study will show if valid measurements of such devices in human subjects can be obtained.

The primary endpoint of this study is the non-inferiority estimation quality of participant's mean defect (MD) measured in decibel (dB) between the head-mounted display and an OCTOPUS perimeter using the dynamic strategy (DS) for participants with normal or glaucomatous visual field. The MD is a clinical measure for the average loss of visual function calculated from the visual field of a participant.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

normal visual field subjects

* Cataract yes or no
* Age range 40 - 80 years
* normal visual field (MD: \< +2 dB)
* Refractive error within ±5 dpt. spherical equivalent
* Astigmatism of \< -3 dpt.
* Visual acuity of ≥0.3 logMar (decimal ≥0.5)
* Experience in perimetry (history of at least one perimetry examination)
* False positive or negative errors each less than 20% in each examination

virtual reality perimeter

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Both groups will be examined with a standard automated perimeter as well as with the virtual reality perimeter.

Glaucomatous subjects

* Primary open-angle/ pseudoexfoliation/ primary angle-closure glaucoma
* Early to moderate visual field loss (MD: +2 to +12 dB)
* Refractive error within ±5 dpt. spherical equivalent
* Astigmatism of \< -3 dpt.
* Visual acuity of ≥0.3 logMar (decimal ≥0.5)
* Experience in perimetry (history of at least one perimetry examination)
* False positive or negative errors each less than 20% in each examination
* Cataract yes or no
* Age range 40 - 80 years
