Abstract

Strabismus is a visual disorder characterized by eye misalignment. The extent of ocular misalignment is denoted as the deviation angle. With the advent of Virtual Reality (VR) Head-Mounted-Displays (HMD) and eye tracking technology, new possibilities measuring strabismus arise. Major research addresses the novel field of VR strabismus assessment by replicating prism cover tests while there is a paucity of research on screen tests. In this work the Hess Screen Test was implemented in VR using a HMD with eye tracking for an objective measurement of the deviation angle. In a study, the functionality was tested and compared with a 2D monitor-based test. The results showed significant differences in the measured deviation angle between the methods. This can be attributed to the type of dissociation of the eyes.
