Community Interest in Vision Screening Technology

Summary

Virtual reality (VR) is a relatively new, emerging field within healthcare. Studies have analyzed public perceptions of virtual reality in healthcare using social media, but few have actually demonstrated and educated these modalities to communities. Because vision care can be costly and inaccessible, especially in communities with few physicians, this study aims to evaluate whether communities would be open to new technology. For example, it has been determined that 80% of vision loss is preventable with adequate screening technology, a key factor in ameliorating the economic and emotional burden of eye disease. Therefore, through demonstrations and educational presentations by medical students, gaps in understanding perceptions, willingness to adopt, and general demographics of those seeking better eye care will be understood.
