Background

This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of a virtual reality platform (virtual reality platform) for home monitoring of visual function in patients with neuro-ophthalmic conditions.

Methods

Fifteen patients with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy), optic neuritis, or papilledema were enrolled and monitored remotely over 12 weeks.

n = 21 eyes

86%

Results

86%

most had zero technical glitches with the at-home headset

n = 21 eyes

More results

Most participants (71.4%) found weekly virtual reality platform use easy, and all felt confident using it at home.

Compliance was highest in the nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy group, with 75% completing the full 12-week period.

In the optic neuritis group, 55.6% remained after Week 1 and 44.4% continued through Week 8.

More results

The papilledema group discontinued by Week 4.

Conclusion · 1 of 2

The virtual reality platform is a feasible and well-accepted tool for home-based visual monitoring in neuro-ophthalmic patients as an alternative to in-person eye examinations.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

This approach enables early detection of changes and can improve long-term management.
