Device and method for monitoring progress of visual field of a user

摘要

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a method for determining the likelihood that a user is at or exceeding a certain rate and/or risk of visual field progression (VFP), comprising the steps of: placing or implanting a continuously mounted sensor inside or in the user''s eye; an installation step including that (S100); a measuring step (S101) comprising measuring an ocular biomechanical characteristic (OBP) via a persistently mounted sensor placed or implanted in the eye, wherein the measuring includes data capture repeated at regular time intervals; a recording step (S102) comprising recording the user''s eye biomechanical characteristics in a recorder in the form of at least one OBP time series chart; a processing step of extracting at least one of a plurality of OBP parameters from at least one recorded OBP time series diagram (S103); Calculating at least one of the plurality of OBP parameters is associated with the VFP (S104); a determining step (S105) of determining whether the visual field progression is above a specific VFP threshold and/or a probability that the visual field progression is included within a specific range; A method comprising: a prediction step (S106) of predicting a probability that a patient will get glaucoma based on the determined VFP; and a determination step (S107) of determining relevance of a specific treatment based on the prediction result.
