VR headset tracks eyes to unlock new diagnostic insights
NCT ID NCT07258212
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study gathers standard eye movement and pupil data from 200 healthy volunteers, children, and people with eye or brain conditions using a VR headset called neos™. The headset shows images and tracks where participants look, how their pupils react, and how their eyes move. The goal is to create a baseline to help doctors better diagnose neuro-ophthalmological disorders. No treatment is given—only data collection.

Inclusion Criteria Healthy Volunteers: * Age \> 3 * Informed consent by participant and/or legal representative documented per signature * Snellen visual acuity ≥ +0.1 LogMAR, with correction, on both eyes * Refractive error between -10 and +5 diopters, on both eyes Exclusion Criteria Healthy Volunteers: * Known ophthalmological, neurological or vestibular disease * Current medication/drugs that could potentially influence performance in ocular motor tasks and/or compliance in the judgement of the investigator (e.g. benzodiazepines, alcohol, or stimulants) * Stimulative medication (e.g. with Ritalin®) * Known substance abuse Inclusion Criteria Patients: * Age \> 3 * Informed consent by participant and/or legal representative, designated trusted person or next of kin, documented per signature * Refractive error between -10 and +5 diopters, on both eyes * Known ophthalmological or neurological disease Exclusion Criteria Patients: * Visual acuity in one or both eyes \< +1.3 LogMAR * Incapacity to understand and comply with the examination in the opinion of the investigator (e.g. due to very advanced dementia, with failure to comply with easy experimental instructions and tasks) * Known substance abuse
