VR goggles could replace bulky eye tests for kids
NCT ID NCT05150197
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a new virtual reality goggle device (VisuALL) to the standard Humphrey Visual Field test for measuring peripheral vision in children. Researchers will enroll 1000 healthy children and those with eye conditions, testing them during a routine eye appointment. The goal is to see if the VR test is as accurate and easier for kids to use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- VisuALL virtual reality visual field device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this VR goggle test could make visual field testing easier and more accessible for children, reducing the need for bulky equipment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a diagnostic accuracy study, not a treatment trial. The VR test may not be as reliable as the standard test, and results may not apply to all children.
