Perimetry of the Central Visual Field Using a Head-Mounted Open-Source Perimeter in Patients with Inherited Retinal Diseases [PDF]
Head-mounted (“virtual reality”) perimeters (HMPs), based on standard consumer electronic hardware, are a cheaper alternative to standard automated perimetry. They have not been validated in patients with inherited retinal disease (IRDs), yet.
