Abstract
Significance: This work shows the benefits of using two different magnification strategies to improve the reading ability of low-vision patients using a head-mounted technology.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative clinical trial evaluating the effectiveness of two magnification strategies in a head-mounted virtual reality display.
Methods: Eighty-eight eligible low-vision subjects were randomized into two arms: (1) the full-field magnification display or (2) the virtual bioptic telescope mode. Subjects completed baseline testing and received training on how to use the device properly and then took the device home for a 2- to 4-week intervention period. An adaptive rating scale questionnaire (Activity Inventory) was administered before and after the intervention (home trial) period to measure the effect of the system. A Simulator Sickness Questionnaire was also administered. Baseline and follow-up results were analyzed using Rasch analysis to assess overall effectiveness of each magnification mode for various functional domain categories.
Results: Both magnification modes showed a positive effect for reading, visual information, and the overall goals functional domain categories, with only reading reaching statistical significance after correction for multiple comparisons. However, there were no significant between-group differences between the two modes. The results of the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire showed that the magnification modes of the head-mounted display device were overall well tolerated among low-vision users.
Conclusions: Both the full-field and virtual bioptic magnification strategies were effective in significantly improving functional vision outcomes for self-reported reading ability.
期刊介绍：
Optometry and Vision Science is the monthly peer-reviewed scientific publication of the American Academy of Optometry, publishing original research since 1924. Optometry and Vision Science is an internationally recognized source for education and information on current discoveries in optometry, physiological optics, vision science, and related fields. The journal considers original contributions that advance clinical practice, vision science, and public health. Authors should remember that the journal reaches readers worldwide and their submissions should be relevant and of interest to a broad audience. Topical priorities include, but are not limited to: clinical and laboratory research, evidence-based reviews, contact lenses, ocular growth and refractive error development, eye movements, visual function and perception, biology of the eye and ocular disease, epidemiology and public health, biomedical optics and instrumentation, novel and important clinical observations and treatments, and optometric education.
