“…In addition, VR technology has been used to help detect visual field deficits in glaucoma patients in correlation with the Humphrey perimeter, 75 and to help evaluate visual functions in strabismus and amblyopic patients. 76,77 However, the need for trained operators, lack of interoperability, and reliance on customized platforms to operate these solutions can limit their scalability. Separately, researchers have also examined the feasibility of displaying OCT images in a VR environment with a head-mounted display, 78 which may provide the next generation of OCT image display mode with a platform for patient engagement, medical education, professional training, and telecommunications.…”

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 has further increased the urgent need for digital transformation within the health care settings, with the use of artificial intelligence/deep learning, internet of things, telecommunication network/virtual platform, and blockchain. The recent advent of metaverse, an interconnected online universe, with the synergistic combination of augmented, virtual, and mixed reality described several years ago, presents a new era of immersive and realtime experiences to enhance human-to-human social interaction and connection. In health care and ophthalmology, the creation of virtual environment with three-dimensional (3D) space and avatar, could be particularly useful in patient-fronting platforms (eg, telemedicine platforms), operational uses (eg, meeting organization), digital education (eg, simulated medical and surgical education), diagnostics, and therapeutics. On the other hand, the implementation and adoption of these emerging virtual health care technologies will require multipronged approaches to ensure interoperability with real-world virtual clinical settings, userfriendliness of the technologies and clinical efficiencies while complying to the clinical, health economics, regulatory, and cybersecurity standards. To serve the urgent need, it is important for the eye community to continue to innovate, invent, adapt, and harness the unique abilities of virtual health care technology to provide better eye care worldwide.

“…11 The other recent study used another VR system to quantify amblyopia. 35 In the test taken by healthy subjects after being shown a target human face, the VR headsets presented different faces randomly, and the 2 eyes received different images. Then, the subjects responded if the target appeared.…”

We all live in a hybrid world of both online and offline experiences. Especially since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we are now more connected than ever. The aim of the metaverse, which is made up of the terms “meta” which means “beyond”, and “verse” which comes from the word “universe”, is to simplify these means of communication by minimising inconveniences and improving experiences in the physical world. Simultaneously, the multitude of data that is part of our lives is moving us towards an irreversibly digital future. Data are the raw material that feeds machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms, which allow us to make decisions based on the analysis of historical events, and to predict future behaviour. In addition to this, 6G, the sixth generation of hyper-speed mobile connectivity, together with new models of cloud computing, will allow for disruptive developments economy, machine learning, social analytics, blockchain, and health, among many others. Digital transformation is already part of our lives, and the health sector and the therapeutic field of ophthalmology are no exceptions. New technologies based on metaverse are emerging to improve medical education and training as well as processes and procedures in all stages of patient journey from diagnosis, monitoring, surgical procedures and adherence to medical treatment. We are facing a “virtual life” that is evolving amidst social and ethical challenges. Will the metaverse really allow the virtual and physical space to come together? Will it improve patient healthcare in the field of ophthalmology?
