Handheld & Portable Visual Field Analyzers
A handheld visual field analyzer replaces the traditional bowl perimeter with a lightweight, head-mounted virtual-reality headset, letting you perform threshold and screening perimetry almost anywhere in the practice. Modern VR perimeters present calibrated stimuli inside a 4K display and monitor fixation electronically, so there is no dark room to reserve, no eye patch to apply, and no dedicated instrument table to give up. Many systems consolidate several exams into one device, adding visual acuity, color vision, contrast sensitivity, pupillometry, and extraocular motility alongside the visual field itself. That footprint and flexibility make handheld visual field testing a practical fit for exam lanes, satellite offices, bedside and outreach settings, and telemedicine-style follow-up, with peer-reviewed studies reporting results comparable to standard automated perimetry and strong patient tolerance.
At US Ophthalmic we curate this handheld visual field category around the Olleyes VisuALL virtual-reality perimeter line, and we back every unit as a provider, not a box-mover. That means hands-on help matching the right configuration to your glaucoma, neuro, pediatric, or screening workload, a US-based warranty, an in-house technical and repair department, and spare-parts support so the device keeps earning its place in your workflow. Tell us how and where you test, and we will scope the right handheld perimeter and send a Request-a-Quote tailored to your practice.
How to choose a handheld visual field analyzer
- Test strategies you rely on: Confirm the perimetry protocols you run every day are supported — 24-2 and 30-2 for glaucoma and neuro workups, 10-2 for central and macular disease, plus Esterman and ptosis fields for driver and functional screening. The device should fit your existing clinical decision-making, not force you to change it.
- Fixation monitoring and reliability: How the headset keeps the patient fixated drives data quality. Camera-based eye tracking with dynamic-matrix logic offers tighter fixation control that helps with progression follow-up, while blind-spot (Heijl-Krakau) monitoring is a proven, streamlined alternative. Match the level of fixation control to how much you lean on the field for treatment decisions.
- Single-test vs. multi-function: Decide whether you want a dedicated field device or one headset that also captures visual acuity, color vision, contrast sensitivity, pupillometry, and extraocular motility. Consolidating exams can reduce instrument count and lane time, which matters most in space-constrained or high-throughput clinics.
- Portability and footprint: A head-mounted perimeter needs no dark room and stores in near-zero space, so it can move between lanes, satellite offices, nursing homes, and bedside. If you test across multiple locations or run outreach, portability is often worth more than any single spec.
- Patient experience and throughput: Digital occlusion removes the eye patch, guided voice prompts walk patients through the exam in multiple languages, and gamified targets improve cooperation — a real advantage with pediatric, elderly, and hard-to-test patients where completed, reliable tests are the goal.
- Data, connectivity, and who services it: Look at cloud reporting, how results move into your records, and software licensing and update terms. Just as important is the support behind the device: US Ophthalmic provides a US warranty, in-house technical service, and spare parts so a headset issue does not sideline your testing.
Featured models
Both models in this collection are Olleyes VisuALL virtual-reality perimeters that combine visual field testing with acuity, color, contrast sensitivity, pupillometry, and extraocular motility in a single 4K headset. The difference comes down to fixation technology and how comprehensive a configuration your practice needs.
| Model | Type | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Olleyes Visual ETS | VR perimeter with camera-based eye tracking and dynamic-matrix testing; full multi-exam suite | Practices wanting the most comprehensive VR test suite and tighter fixation control for glaucoma progression, neuro, and pediatric testing |
| Olleyes Visual S | VR perimeter with Heijl-Krakau fixation monitoring; core multi-exam suite | Practices wanting portable VR visual field plus acuity, color, and contrast in a streamlined, efficient configuration |
Frequently asked questions
How does a handheld VR perimeter compare to a traditional Humphrey bowl perimeter? Instead of a bowl, a head-mounted VR perimeter presents stimuli inside a 4K headset and monitors fixation electronically, so there is no dark room and no eye patch. Peer-reviewed studies have found virtual-reality perimetry comparable to standard automated (Humphrey) perimetry and well tolerated by patients. As with any perimeter, results should be interpreted alongside the clinical exam rather than used in isolation for treatment decisions.
What is the difference between the Olleyes Visual ETS and the Visual S? Both run the same core exam suite — visual field, visual acuity, color vision, contrast sensitivity, pupillometry, and extraocular motility — in a 4K headset with AI voice guidance. The ETS adds camera-based eye tracking and dynamic-matrix testing for more advanced fixation control, while the S uses the proven Heijl-Krakau blind-spot method in a more streamlined configuration.
Can a handheld visual field analyzer be used for glaucoma monitoring? Yes. These VR perimeters run the standard glaucoma and neuro patterns such as 24-2, 30-2, and 10-2, and studies report data comparable to conventional automated perimetry. They are well suited to in-office monitoring, satellite offices, and follow-up, with final treatment decisions always correlated to the full clinical picture.
Are these devices suitable for pediatric or hard-to-test patients? They are a strong fit. Research has shown higher patient satisfaction in children compared with conventional perimeters, and the portability, digital occlusion, and gamified, guided testing help with pediatric, elderly, and mobility-limited patients who struggle with a fixed bowl perimeter.
Does US Ophthalmic provide warranty and service for handheld perimeters? Yes. As a provider we back these systems with a US warranty, an in-house technical and repair department, and spare-parts support, plus help configuring the right model for your workflow.
