Summary
This study tested whether a virtual reality headset paired with machine learning can measure Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect (RAPD) more reliably than the standard flashlight test. About 71 adults with and without known RAPD took part. Researchers compared manual pupil measurements with those from the VR system to see if the new method is more objective and can detect RAPD earlier.
