Visual field systems and methods for glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring by implementing adaptive map perimetry via head-mounted displays

A visual field analysis (VFA) method for automatically assessing visual field testing, the VFA method comprising:

• generating an eye difference estimate for a test subject relative to reference data for an average healthy eye obtained from a normative dataset, the eye difference estimate indicating a difference in (1) overall sensitivity or general height (GH) and (2) the rate of sensitivity decay with eccentricity (distance from the fovea) relative to the reference data;
• generating an individualized HoV model based on the eye difference estimate and an average HoV model saved in a computer memory;
• displaying, on a headset device, a respective stimulus to the test subject at a plurality of test locations, wherein the headset device comprises a display screen positioned proximate to, or within a viewable distance from a user's eyes;
• storing in computer memory responses of the test subject to the respective stimulus displayed at the plurality of test locations;
• analyzing the responses to determine a respective sensitivity value for the test subject at each of the plurality of test locations;
• determining total-deviation values for the test subject by subtracting the respective sensitivity value for each of the plurality of test locations from a corresponding value of the individualized HoV model;
• analyzing the total-deviation values;
• and
• providing feedback to the test subject based on the analysis.

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for automatically assessing visual field testing, that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

• generate an eye difference estimate for a test subject relative to reference data for an average healthy eye obtained from a normative dataset, the eye difference estimate indicating a difference in (1) overall sensitivity or general height (GH) and (2) the rate of sensitivity decay with eccentricity (distance from the fovea) relative to the reference data;
• generate an individualized HoV model based on the eye difference estimate and an average HoV model saved in a computer memory;
• display, on a headset device, a respective stimulus to the test subject at a plurality of test locations, wherein the headset device comprises a display screen positioned proximate to, or within a viewable distance from a user's eyes;
• store in computer memory responses of the test subject to the respective stimulus displayed at the plurality of test locations;
• analyze the responses to determine a respective sensitivity value for the test subject at each of the plurality of test locations;
• determine total-deviation values for the test subject by subtracting the respective sensitivity value for each of the plurality of test locations from a corresponding value of the individualized HoV model;
• analyze the total-deviation values;
• and
• provide feedback to the test subject based on the analysis.
