Virtual Field, a global leader in virtual reality visual field (VRVF) testing, is proud to announce its official expansion into Canada, marking a major milestone in its mission to make high-quality, accessible, and efficient eye care available to all.
From Toronto to Vancouver and everywhere in between, Canadian optometrists and ophthalmologists can now integrate Virtual Field’s virtual perimetry (VR perimetry) technology into their practices, bringing advanced, patient-friendly diagnostics to clinics of every size.
Virtual Field is redefining how vision care is delivered, now expanding its innovation to the Canadian eye care community.
1. Expanding Access to Advanced Visual Field Technology
Visual field testing is a critical part of diagnosing and managing glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmic, and retinal conditions. However, traditional tabletop perimeters can be expensive, bulky, and difficult to use in compact or mobile practice environments.
With Virtual Field, Canadian professionals now have access to a portable, affordable, and accurate alternative that performs full-threshold testing with clinical-grade reliability.
Key Advantages
- Portable headset-based design with no dark room required
- Fast testing times under five minutes per eye
- Built-in AI for fixation and reliability monitoring
- Multilingual audio instructions for diverse patient populations
- Cloud integration for secure data storage and EMR compatibility
Virtual perimetry brings precision without pressure and accessibility without compromise.
2. Why Canadian Clinics Are Adopting Virtual Field
As the demand for efficient and inclusive eye care grows, Canadian eye care professionals are turning to Virtual Field for its flexibility, accuracy, and comfort-driven testing experience.
Benefits for Canadian Practices
- Improved workflow efficiency for private and multi-location clinics
- Patient-centered design supporting pediatric, geriatric, and disabled patients
- Space-saving setup ideal for compact clinics or satellite offices
- Tele-optometry readiness for mobile and remote visual field testing
From downtown Toronto to remote Yukon communities, Virtual Field adapts to every practice environment.
3. The Accuracy and Reliability Behind Virtual Field
Clinical validation studies confirm that Virtual Field’s VR visual field results align closely with traditional Humphrey Field Analyzer outcomes, delivering comparable Mean Deviation (MD) and Pattern Standard Deviation (PSD) values with strong repeatability.
Clinical Reliability Highlights
- Accurate detection of early glaucomatous defects
- Consistent field maps across follow-up visits
- AI-based fixation and false-response monitoring
- Proven accuracy in real-world clinical use
Virtual Field delivers validated accuracy now available to Canadian eye care professionals.
4. Integrating Virtual Field with Comprehensive Eye Care Diagnostics
Virtual Field does not work in isolation. It complements other diagnostic systems to provide a complete functional and structural vision profile. When paired with Micro Medical Devices, Canadian clinics gain even deeper diagnostic insight.
Micro Medical Devices’ A-Scan biometry and keratometry solutions provide precise axial length and corneal curvature measurements that strengthen the interpretation of visual field results. This integration helps clinicians correlate functional loss with anatomical data for improved diagnostic confidence.
Integrated Diagnostic Ecosystem
- Biometry / A-Scan (Ascan): Correlates axial length with visual field findings
- Pachymetry: Supports glaucoma risk assessment and IOP accuracy
- Keratometer: Ensures proper optical alignment during testing
- B-Scan: Confirms posterior segment pathology
- CXL: Enables pre- and post-treatment functional monitoring
Together, Virtual Field and Micro Medical Devices create a connected, data-rich diagnostic workflow.
5. Meeting Canadian Healthcare Standards
Virtual Field complies with rigorous North American healthcare standards, ensuring Canadian eye care practices meet regulatory and ethical requirements.
Compliance Features
- HIPAA- and PIPEDA-compliant cloud data storage
- Bilingual English and French interface support
- Compatible CPT-style reporting and OHIP workflows
- Cross-platform interoperability with major EMR systems
Virtual Field combines innovation with integrity, aligned with Canadian clinical standards.
6. Supporting Modern Canadian Eye Care Models
Virtual Field supports key trends shaping Canadian eye care, including:
- Tele-ophthalmology expansion in rural and northern regions
- Home-based testing for elderly and mobility-limited patients
- Mobile screening programs through public health networks
- Interdisciplinary collaboration with medical specialists
Innovation is no longer confined to the clinic. Virtual Field brings care to the patient.
7. A Seamless Experience for Patients and Providers
Patient Benefits
- Natural posture testing while seated, reclining, or in a wheelchair
- No chin rest or eye patch required
- Short, non-invasive exams
- Multilingual audio guidance
Provider Benefits
- Plug-and-play setup with minimal training
- Automated analysis and reliability scoring
- Secure cloud dashboard for longitudinal tracking
Ease of use, accuracy, and comfort come together in one compact system.
8. Training, Collaboration, and Growth in Canada
Virtual Field is building partnerships across Canada with:
- Optometry and ophthalmology schools
- Research institutions studying perimetry innovation
- Provincial health networks
- Independent and group practices
Each Canadian practice receives onboarding, training, and ongoing clinical support to ensure success.
