BiB Ophthalmic Instruments has been made the UK distributor for the VisionOne virtual reality (VR) headset by Swiss-based manufacturer Perivision.
VisionOne is said to be the UK’s first UKCA-approved VR eye testing platform with artificial intelligence-optimised visual fields.
It uses an algorithm to reduce testing times, has an internal magnetic binocular lens corrective holder and built-in eye tracking technology to enhance accuracy.
An on-board virtual voice for prompts is said to aid patient compliance and the headset has no restrictive wires, so it can be used anywhere in the practice or on domiciliary visits.
Tim Baker, CEO at BiB, said: ‘VisionOne is the perfect complement to our range of standard tabletop-based perimeters and will be especially convenient where space is at a premium.’
