Reliability of Visual Field Testing in a Telehealth Setting Using a Head-Mounted Device: A Pilot Study.

Prcis: Monitoring visual fields (VFs) through virtual reality devices proved to have good inter-test and test-retest reliability, as well as easy usability, when self-administered by individuals with and without VF defects in a remote setting.

Purpose: To assess the reliability of remote, self-administered VF monitoring using a virtual reality VF (VRVF) device in individuals without ocular disease and with stable VF defects.

Materials And Methods: Individuals without ocular disease and with stable defects were recruited.

Placement and Extension of Glaucoma Drainage Devices Using Polypropylene Suture in Pediatric Patients.

Glaucoma drainage device tube placement and extension in pediatric patients may be complicated by abnormal anterior segment anatomy and corneal opacities. The authors describe two techniques for placement and extension of non-valved glaucoma drainage device tubes using polypropylene suture as a guidewire and stabilizer, respectively. .

A Novel Technique for Anterior Segment Imaging Using B-scan Ultrasonography When Ultrasound Biomicroscopy Is Unavailable.

Ultrasound biomicroscopy offers high-resolution images of anterior segment anatomy, essential for determining surgical intervention in special circumstances, yet is sometimes unavailable. The authors describe a novel technique to obtain gross anterior segment visualization using a commonly available instrument, B-scan ultrasonography, and compare it to ultrasound biomicroscopy imaging from two pediatric cases. .
