Methods and systems for virtual reality light sensitivity testing

A virtual reality (VR) system for testing light sensitivity and prescribing customized LCD tinted lenses, comprising:

• a head-mounted display;
• eye-tracking sensors;
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• generating a VR user interface corresponding to a three-dimensional virtual environment;
• rendering the VR user interface on the head-mounted display;
• simulating various lighting conditions sequentially in the VR user interface;
• and
• while simulating the various lighting conditions, in real time:
• continuously tracking, using the eye-tracking sensors, gaze direction, blink rate, squinting, and pupillary responses to the simulated lighting conditions;
• and
• evaluating the tracked data for light sensitivity performance.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a head-mounted display and eye-tracking sensors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
