The Frontier Developments of VR Technology in the Treatment of Ophthalmic Diseases

Boyuan Wen*, Jiaqi Liu, Yihui Xiong, Yihan Jiang, Lin Wu

Abstract


Virtual reality (VR) technology is widely recognized as a hot concept in the field of science and technology. This technology demonstrates immense potential and application prospects in ophthalmology, with its technological advancements significantly driving the development of modern ophthalmic medicine. Extensive research indicates that VR technology holds practical application value and broad development prospects in medical fields such as the treatment of eye diseases. This paper systematically reviews the current status of VR technology
in addressing myopia and amblyopia among adolescents, thoroughly analyzes its advantages and limitations within ophthalmology, and
explores future development trends. By comprehensively examining the present applications and future prospects of virtual reality technology
in treating ocular diseases, it aims to deepen readers' understanding of its practical value, thereby promoting more efficient development and
utilization of VR technology in the field of ophthalmic medicine.
