title: Bilateral Concurrent Eye Examination with a Head-Mounted Perimeter for Diagnosing Functional Visual Loss.
abstract: The authors here report a case series where bilateral concurrent eye examination, using a head-mounted perimeter (imo®), was employed to facilitate diagnosis of functional visual loss, as regular ophthalmological tests were ineffective. Subjects (11-year-old female, 15-year-old male, and 24-year-old male) were diagnosed with unilateral functional visual loss by using the imo®, at the Kitasato University hospital. The results of the imo® and those of Goldmann perimetry or Humphrey Field Analyzer II differed for all subjects, which is indicative of potential functional visual loss. Bilateral concurrent examination with the imo® may become a standard for future diagnosis of unilateral functional visual loss.
