Three papers demonstrate the reliability and
validity of RightEye’s Dynamic Visual Acuity and Fine Depth
Perception tests, confirm process of measuring interpupillary
distance and pupil diameter using infrared eye tracker and central
point stimuli
RightEye LLC, a leading technology innovator using eye tracking
to revolutionize patient care and vision performance, today
announced the publication of three new research papers in the
journals Vision Development and Rehabilitation and Translational
Vision Science and Technology. The articles, co-authored by
RightEye co-founder and Chief Science Officer Dr. Melissa
Hunfalvay, provide normative data, reliability and validity
(accuracy) of RightEye Dynamic Visual Acuity and RightEye Fine
Depth Perception tests, and show the validity of interpupillary
distance and pupil diameter measures using an infrared eye tracker
and central point stimuli. The studies prove that the RightEye
system and its eye-tracking tests can be used as a valid measure of
eye movement and vision issues.
“RightEye is dedicated to providing advancements in healthcare
and vision care by delivering information and insights about the
human condition,” said Dr. Hunfalvay. “We’re excited to announce
these important peer-reviewed papers that confirm the reliability
and validity of certain tests, and we look forward to continuing to
contribute to ongoing research in this rapidly evolving area within
the scientific community so that even more researchers will be able
to build on the insights from these studies.”
The published articles include:
- “Reliability and Normative Data of
Computerized Dynamic Visual Acuity,” Vision Development and
Rehabilitation, April 2017 – This article creates a standard
RightEye DVA Test using three measures: head still, object moving;
head moving, object still; and head and object moving. It examines
the reliability of the test with normative data collected by vision
specialists in healthy adults. The results of the study demonstrate
reliability of the RightEye DVA tests and normative data for
comparative purposes. Authors: Nicholas P. Murray, PhD; Melissa
Hunfalvay, PhD; Claire-Marie Roberts, PhD; and Belinda Lange,
PhD.
- “Evaluation of Stereo Acuity in
Professional Baseball and LPGA Athletes Compared to Non-Athletes,”
Vision Development and Rehabilitation, April 2017 – This
article examines the reliability and validity of the RightEye Fine
Depth Perception Test. It also examines normative data for future
comparative purposes. A comparison of differences between
professional athletes (baseball and golf) and non-athletes was
examined. Results reveal that the RightEye FDP Test is reliable and
valid, and that there are significant differences in the results
between athletes and non-athletes, where athletes have better
stereo acuity than non-athletes. Authors: Melissa Hunfalvay, PhD;
Rhonda Orr, PhD; Nicholas P Murray, PhD; and Claire-Marie Roberts,
PhD.
- “The Reliability, Validity, and
Normative Data of Interpupillary Distance and Pupil Diameter Using
Eye-Tracking Technology,” Translational Vision Science and
Technology, July 2017 – This article examines the reliability
of the RightEye IPD/PD (interpupillary distance and pupil diameter)
Test using an infrared eye tracker and central point stimuli. The
study has a large number of subjects, and results show normative
data, reliability and validity of the measures compared to known
clinical tools.
“RightEye is committed to providing our customers with tests and
training that they can count on for accuracy and dependability,”
said Barbara Barclay, president of RightEye. “We’re proud that our
products continue to stand up to the tests of scientific rigor, and
we will continue to use that validation as a measure of our
success.”
Visit RightEye for a personal demonstration of healthcare and
vision tests and training games this weekend at the 2017 Canadian
Optometrists in Vision Therapy & Rehabilitation, Aug. 18-20, in
Montreal. More details are available at www.righteye.com and in the
