Video game to monitor visual field loss in glaucoma

A computer-implemented method for visual field testing, comprising:

• sequentially displaying a plurality of fixation targets and stimulus targets at numerous locations on a display of a computing device, wherein the location of each stimulus target becomes the location of an immediately subsequent fixation target;
• subsequent to displaying each stimulus target, monitoring for an input from the user via a user input device of the computing device indicating a perception of the stimulus target, and recording whether the user perceived the stimulus target based on the presence or a characteristic of the input received;
• during the displaying of the plurality of fixation targets and stimulus targets, monitoring the distance between the user and the computing device by capturing images using an image capturing device of the computing device and analyzing the captured images;
• and
• assessing the user's visual field based on the inputs of the user.

A system for testing visual field, comprising:

• a display;
• a user input device;
• a camera;
• and
• a computer operatively coupled to the display, the camera, and the user input device, the computer configured to:
• sequentially display a plurality of fixation targets and stimulus targets at numerous locations on the display, wherein the location of each stimulus target becomes the location of an immediately subsequent fixation target;
• subsequent to displaying each stimulus target, monitor for an input from the user via the user input device of the computing device indicating a perception of the stimulus target, and record whether the user perceived the stimulus target based on the presence or a characteristic of the input received;
• during the displaying of the plurality of fixation targets and stimulus targets, monitor the distance between the user and the computing device by capturing images using the camera and analyzing the captured images;
• and
• assess the user's visual field based on the inputs of the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions, which when executed, performs a method comprising:

• sequentially displaying a plurality of fixation targets and stimulus targets at numerous locations on a display of a computing device, wherein the location of each stimulus target becomes the location of an immediately subsequent fixation target, each stimulus target being displayed for a predetermined expected response time;
• subsequent to displaying each stimulus target, monitoring for an input from the user via a user input device of the computing device indicating a perception of the stimulus target during the expected response time, and recording whether the user perceived the stimulus target based on the presence or a characteristic of the input received;
• during the displaying of the plurality of fixation targets and stimulus targets, monitoring the distance between the user and the computing device by capturing images using an image capturing device of the computing device and analyzing the captured images;
• and
• assessing the user's visual field based on the inputs of the user.
