“…Performance ease of participants has shown that the headsets achieved acceptable compliance when used as a training tool. 46 , 47 , 56 , 58 , 71 As reported by Waddingham et al, 84 Cleary et al, 86 Herbison et al, 87 Herbison et al, 88 Vedamurthy et al, 45 Hurd et al, 53 Halička et al, 55 Jhangian et al, 58 Tan et al, 60 and Xiao et al, 89 VA outcomes have shown comparable improvements through training using VR applications. Likewise, Rajavi et al, 49 Žiak et al, 16 Elhusseiny et al, 69 and Rajavi et al 50 have also made VA improvements, which reflected a promising application value for further research on this topic.…”

“…Among total references, the majority (16/48, 33.33%) used commercial standalone VR headset in their studies due to specific functions provided by the headsets. Oculus Rift was used by Nesaratnam et al, 75 Turnbull & Phillips, 82 Žiak et al, 16 Halička et al, 55 Jiménez-Rodríguez et al, 56 Jhangian et al, 58 and Godinez et al 80 This kind of headset provided VR experience without considering space constraints as the headset was a wireless type. HTC Vive was used by Hurd et al, 53 Martín et al, 68 Mehringer et al, 78 Lin & Chou 57 and Panfili et al, 65 while HTC Vive Pro Eye was used by Yeh et al 77 Although the HTC Vive series headsets were wire-connected, they provided high-resolution images while eye tracking functions were found with the Pro Eye model.…”

“…With a fully immersive VR system, game-based design was used in most studies while shooting games were commonly programed in the VR game design (20/48, 41.67%).

Background Virtual reality is a relatively new intervention that has the potential to be used in the treatment of eye and vision problems. This article reviews the use of virtual reality-related interventions in amblyopia, strabismus, and myopia research. Methods Sources covered in the review included 48 peer-reviewed research published between January 2000 and January 2023 from five electronic databases (ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, PubMed, ScienceDirect and Web of Science). To prevent any missing relevant articles, the keywords, and terms used in the search included “VR”, “virtual reality”, “amblyopia”, “strabismus,” and “myopia”. Quality assessment and data extraction were performed independently by two authors to form a narrative synthesis to summarize findings from the included research. Results Total number of 48 references were reviewed. There were 31 studies published on amblyopia, 18 on strabismus, and 6 on myopia, with 7 studies overlapping amblyopia and strabismus. In terms of technology, smartphone-based virtual reality headset viewers were utilized more often in amblyopia research, but commercial standalone virtual reality headsets were used more frequently in myopia and strabismus-related research. The software and virtual environment were mostly developed based on vision therapy and dichoptic training paradigms. Conclusion It has been suggested that virtual reality technology offers a potentially effective tool for amblyopia, strabismus, and myopia studies. Nonetheless, a variety of factors, especially the virtual environment and systems employed in the data presented, must be explored before determining whether virtual reality can be effectively applied in clinical settings. This review is significant as the technology in virtual reality software and application design features have been investigated and considered for future reference.

“…The most recent development in the creation of new pleoptic techniques is the use of VR, which allows for full dichoptic imaging, where each eye sees something slightly different, especially concerning minute details that are essential for controlling the game in question, as well as fundamentally superior 3D imaging. In Halička et al ( 41 ), conducted dichoptic vision therapy using the computer game Diplopia Game (Vivid Vision, USA), which has been played within an Oculus Rift DK2 VR headset (Oculus VR, USA). The workout required 8 h of training every cycle, which was completed twice a week.…”

Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a new safe and efficient tool for the rehabilitation of many childhood and adulthood illnesses. VR-based therapies have the potential to improve both motor and functional skills in a wide range of age groups through cortical reorganization and the activation of various neuronal connections. Recently, the potential for using serious VR-based games that combine perceptual learning and dichoptic stimulation has been explored for the rehabilitation of ophthalmological and neurological disorders. In ophthalmology, several clinical studies have demonstrated the ability to use VR training to enhance stereopsis, contrast sensitivity, and visual acuity. The use of VR technology provides a significant advantage in training each eye individually without requiring occlusion or penalty. In neurological disorders, the majority of patients undergo recurrent episodes (relapses) of neurological impairment, however, in a few cases (60–80%), the illness progresses over time and becomes chronic, consequential in cumulated motor disability and cognitive deficits. Current research on memory restoration has been spurred by theories about brain plasticity and findings concerning the nervous system's capacity to reconstruct cellular synapses as a result of interaction with enriched environments. Therefore, the use of VR training can play an important role in the improvement of cognitive function and motor disability. Although there are several reviews in the community employing relevant Artificial Intelligence in healthcare, VR has not yet been thoroughly examined in this regard. In this systematic review, we examine the key ideas of VR-based training for prevention and control measurements in ocular diseases such as Myopia, Amblyopia, Presbyopia, and Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Epilepsy and Autism spectrum disorder. This review highlights the fundamentals of VR technologies regarding their clinical research in healthcare. Moreover, these findings will raise community awareness of using VR training and help researchers to learn new techniques to prevent and cure different diseases. We further discuss the current challenges of using VR devices, as well as the future prospects of human training.

“…For this reason, VR devices have been proposed as potential tools for the training of binocular vision in amblyopia [ 14 ], specifically for the training of stereoscopic vision [ 15 ]. Some authors have previously studied the improvement of stereoscopic vision after VR treatment in adults with anisometropic amblyopia [ 16 , 17 ], using, in some cases, functional magnetic resonance to observe the real neural impact [ 18 ], and also in stereoblind subjects [ 19 , 20 ]. This is possibly due to the plasticity of the adult visual system.…”

The use of digital devices provides a wide range of possibilities for measuring and improving visual function, including concepts such as perceptual learning and dichoptic therapy. Different technologies can be used to apply these concepts, including, in recent years, the introduction of virtual reality (VR) systems. A preliminary experience in treating anisometropic amblyopia through an immersive VR device and using prototype software is described. A total of 4 children were treated by performing 18 office-based sessions. Results showed that distance VA in amblyopic eyes remained constant in two subjects, whereas the younger subjects improved after the training. Near VA improved in three subjects. All subjects showed an increase in the stereopsis of at least one step, with three subjects showing a final stereopsis of a 60 s arc. A total of three subjects showed an increase of approximately 0.5 CS units for the spatial frequency of 3 cpd after the training. Results from this pilot study suggest that visual training based on perceptual learning through an immersive VR environment could be a viable treatment for improving CS, VA, and stereopsis in some children with anisometropic amblyopia. Future studies should support these preliminary results.
