The superotemporal and inferotemporal RNFL bundles converged temporally with increasing myopia, which was associated with an increase in area of abnormal RNFL measurement. The interpretation of the RNFL thickness map in myopic eyes requires careful consideration of the distribution pattern of the RNFL bundles.
IMPORTANCE Clinical assessment of vision-related disability is hampered by the lack of instruments to assess visual performance in real-world situations. Interactive virtual reality (VR) environments displayed in a binocular stereoscopic VR headset have been designed, presumably simulating day-to-day activities to evaluate vision-related disability.OBJECTIVE To investigate the application of VR to identify vision-related disability in patients with glaucoma.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSIn a cross-sectional study, 98 patients with glaucoma and 50 healthy individuals were consecutively recruited from a university eye clinic; all participants were Chinese. The study was conducted between
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
