Abstract

This comprehensive article explores a novel approach to ocular health monitoring through the integration of polarization measurement techniques with AR/VR technology. The article demonstrates how modern AR/VR devices' built-in capabilities, including display illumination and eye-tracking systems, can be leveraged for non-invasive eye disease detection. By leveraging polarization measurements through AR/VR devices, this article presents a groundbreaking method for early detection of various ocular conditions. The integration of polarization-sensitive imaging with consumer AR/VR technology demonstrates significant potential for revolutionizing preventive eye care, combining accessibility with high diagnostic accuracy and patient comfort. Through the systematic analysis of ocular polarization signatures using these devices, healthcare providers can potentially detect early signs of retinal disorders months before conventional methods, while maintaining the convenience of regular AR/VR device usage.
