Not all wearable diagnostic platforms are created equal—and now there’s data to prove it.

In a new breakdown of a major systematic review published in Vision, Dr. Mark Dunbar of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute walks through what the evidence actually shows about commercially available VR-based visual field devices. The review analyzed 19 studies to evaluate clinical validity, diagnostic performance, and technical design across multiple headsets, helping clinicians cut through a crowded and confusing market with an evidence-based framework for decision-making.

"Overall, Heru demonstrated the most consistent clinical validity in this literature review, supported by strong agreement metrics, efficient testing and technological sophistication." - Review of Optometry

"If you believe in whatever you do, it will work." - Dr. Neda Gioia

In this episode of Wavelengths, our hosts Dr. Masoud Nafey and Lee Kuczewski connected with Dr. Gioia on how her own health journey led her to build an integrative optometry practice that blends nutrition, functional medicine, and data-driven care. Tune in to learn more about bringing compassion back to the patient experience, building the right team, and why whole-body health belongs in the exam lane.

Neda Gioia, OD, CNS®, IFMCP, FOWNS, is the founder of Integrative Vision a New Jersey optometry practice dedicated to integrating nutrition and functional medicine into eye and whole-body health. She's both a board-certified nutrition specialist and a certified functional medicine practitioner—the only optometrist in the U.S. to hold both distinctions.

According to Dr. Ripps, Heru has become a reliable alternative to conventional perimetry—even for ongoing glaucoma care.

"We routinely use the [Heru] VR headset for suprathreshold VF screening for all our patients 10 years or older. The device can also perform 24-2 or 10-2 full-threshold VF testing, Esterman VFs, or confrontation fields...Initially, I thought we would still need conventional perimetry for our patients with glaucoma. As the VR device capabilities have improved and our confidence in the results has grown, we now use it to follow all our patients with glaucoma as well. The Heru headset... that we use has been shown to be highly correlated with HFA...in both normal eyes and eyes with glaucoma." - Dr. Ripps

VR technology captures not only visual fields but a full “stack” of pretest results.
