Advanced Visualization Engineering for Vision Disorders: A Clinically Focused Guide to Current Technology and Future Applications

Nasif Zaman et al. Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 Feb.

Abstract

Head-mounted visualization technology, often in the form of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (VAMR), has revolutionized how visual disorders may be approached clinically. In this manuscript, we review the available literature on VAMR for visual disorders and provide a clinically oriented guide to how VAMR technology has been deployed for visual impairments. The chief areas of clinical investigation with VAMR are divided include (1) vision assessment, (2) vision simulation, and (3) vision rehabilitation. We discuss in-depth the current literature of these areas in VAMR and upcoming/future applications to combat the detrimental impact of visual impairment worldwide.

Keywords: Assessment; Augmented reality; Mixed reality; Rehabilitation; Simulation; Virtual reality; Vision disorders; Visualization engineering.
