VRCare - Improving Diagnostic Eyecare Experience - An investigative study

We present VRCare, a VR-based eye screening tool enabling remote, self-guided vision assessments for colour blindness, visual field, myopia, and contrast sensitivity. A user study with 33 participants evaluated usability, comfort, and perceived effectiveness. Participants rated the system highly for intuitiveness (4.45/5), ease of use (4.48/5), and comfort (4.27/5), with 91% willing to reuse the tool. Lower confidence in diagnostic accuracy (3.76/5) and reports of mild discomfort highlight the need for clinical validation and ergonomic refinement. Overall, findings demonstrate VR’s potential for accessible vision screening outside clinical settings.
