Abstract
A system for testing and quantifying visual field and other visual function information in a head-mounted virtual reality environment, utilizing a directed image formation device for scanning of an image onto the retina of the test subject. A method and an apparatus are also provided for utilizing a central neural network and a central data bank to perform automatic interpretation of the visual function test parameters obtained in a plurality of visual field testing systems, for a plurality of patients, with control and response signals being transmitted via the Internet. The data produced by the testing systems are automatically analyzed and compared with patterns on which the neural network was previously trained, and clinical diagnoses for pathological conditions are thereby suggested to the respective clinician for each patient.
