Impact / Expected Impact
The project aims to assess and identify visual disability in patients with glaucoma for visual rehabilitation and patient education. By using interactive VR environments that allow simulation of day-to-day activities relevant to real-world experience, to visualize and identify visual disability experienced by patients with visual impairment in a relatively more cost-effective and adaptable way compared to clinical tests. Target beneficiaries include glaucoma patients.
