NewsTopcon Healthcare and RadiusXR have unveiled the InspirePRO, a wearable perimeter designed to bring full-range visual field testing to glaucoma patients — no bulky standalone machine required. The device offers independent refractive adjustment, eye tracking, and the same background brightness as conventional perimeters. It's being pitched as a more patient-friendly option that doesn't sacrifice clinical capability.
Topcon Healthcare and RadiusXR made a splash at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting in New Orleans, unveiling the InspirePRO — a wearable perimeter designed to revolutionize visual field testing for glaucoma patients. The portable device aims to replace the need for a separate, stand-alone perimeter, even for patients with advanced disease.
What sets InspirePRO apart is its full measurement range — from the earliest detectable vision loss all the way through advanced glaucoma — combined with the background brightness used in conventional perimetry. Add in independent refractive adjustment, modular light seals, and eye tracking, and you've got a device that checks nearly every clinical box while being far more comfortable for patients.
Key Takeaways:
Why it matters: Wearable perimetry has long been popular with patients, but clinical limitations kept it from replacing conventional devices — until now. InspirePRO could make glaucoma monitoring more accessible, consistent, and comfortable, especially for patients who struggle with traditional testing setups.
