Neuro-Ocular Diagnostics Using Modern VR Goggles

Neuro-ocular diagnostics using modern VR goggles is an innovative examination procedure for the early detection of neurological diseases.

Until a few years ago, this specialized form of diagnostics was exclusively available at select university centers focusing on neuro-ophthalmology. The examinations were technically complex, equipment-intensive, and therefore rarely accessible.

Thanks to the latest VR technology, this highly specialized diagnostic tool is now available in a standardized form – precise, reproducible, and comfortable for patients.

What is being examined?
VR-supported neuro-ocular diagnostics allow for a differentiated analysis of:

  • Eye movements
  • Gaze control
  • Pupil reactions (pupillometry)
  • Neurovegetative functions
  • Neuro-ophthalmic functions including the afferent visual pathway

The examination of neuro-ophthalmic functions provides important information about the afferent visual pathway—the nerve pathways that transmit visual stimuli from the eye to the brain.

This makes the method a diagnostic instrument that can detect, for example, eye-related disorders typical of Multiple Sclerosis.

The examination is carried out via a structured, predefined test sequence within the VR goggles.

Areas of Application
This modern diagnostic tool is used for:

  • Early detection of neurodegenerative diseases: Changes in eye movements can provide indications of neurological diseases even in the early stages.
  • Differentiation of Parkinson's syndromes: The precise analysis of neuro-ocular parameters supports the distinction between different forms of Parkinson's.
  • Examination of the autonomic nervous system: Pupillometry allows for conclusions to be drawn regarding the function of the vegetative nervous system.
  • Diagnostics for polyneuropathy: Patients with polyneuropathy also benefit from this expanded examination option.
  • Advanced neuro-immunological diagnostics: The assessment of the afferent visual pathway enables, among other things, the diagnosis of typical ocular changes in Multiple Sclerosis.

Your Benefits

  • State-of-the-art technology
