About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of using virtual reality based visual field testing to monitor glaucoma in a clinical setting. This will be done through comparison of a virtual reality (VR) based device to the current gold standard Ziess Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA). The main questions the study aims to answer are:

* Can both devices produce similar results in terms of detecting visual field defects and progression? * Does the stage (early, moderate, advanced) of glaucoma impact results between the two devices?

Participants will perform both a standard and a VR based visual field test at each visit, for a total of 5 visits.
