Glaucoma, VR-systems, Telemedicine. We make research in glaucoma using the whole spectrum from VR techniques, cloud-based digital applications (diGA), and finally cranial MR. MR-DTI is used for examining glaucomatous changes in the visual pathway. In cooperation with the Talkingeyes&More GmbH and the technical faculty of FAU (Prof. Eskofier), we developed the cloud-based digital application SmartTonoTracker(R) and the VR-Smartphone-based perimeter VR-SPP. The SmartTonoTracker(R) allows patients to monitor intraocular pressure and symptoms and gives smart recommendations. The VR-Smartphone-based perimeter allows home-based perimetry in glaucoma patients. All data were integrated into MedStage(R), a cloud-based electronic patient chart. The goal is a hybrid process, beginning with home-based diagnostics and ending up with the cranial MR, when necessary.
