Celebrating Two Million Exams: A Milestone in Eye Care Innovation

We are thrilled to announce another significant achievement at Virtual Field: surpassing two million patient exams conducted with our virtual visual field technology. This milestone reflects the transformative impact we’re making in the fields of ophthalmology and optometry.

Since our inception in 2018, Virtual Field has been at the forefront of transforming eye care testing and diagnoses, and this milestone underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence in the field. You can read the news release here.

In marking this milestone, James Murphy, MD, one of the thousands of clinicians using Virtual Field said,  “There are several aspects of the Virtual Field experience that patients enjoy, but comfort is a big one. I serve a population of patients who are in their 70s, 80s, and 90s. Many of them have spine and neck issues, are wheelchair-bound, or otherwise have mobility and stamina limitations. Elderly patients love the experience of a wearable headset and, contrary to what one might assume, are very capable of reliably performing SAP if allowed a higher degree of comfort for the duration of the test compared to traditional, tabletop perimetry. There are a lot of benefits to having this technology in your office simply from a patient satisfaction perspective.”

Dr. Murphy added, “Additionally, Virtual Field saves staff time. Staff members are able to set patients up pretty quickly and let the audio instructions from the headset guide the patient in their native language which automates the one-on-one coaching they usually have to do and increases the reliability of the results. Virtual Field is reliable and accurate. I'm very happy with Virtual Field and thrilled they are announcing this two million exam milestone!"

Thank you Dr. Murphy and to all of the eye care professionals who have put their trust in us. Together, we are shaping the future of eye care.
