NEW YORK—Virtual Field, a provider of virtual visual field testing, has announced its expansion into Canada. Virtual Field enables ophthalmologists and optometrists to offer comprehensive, accurate visual field, color vision, and pupillometry exams using a comfortable, patient-friendly headset, according to the company. Virtual Field has received two Medical Device Licenses (MDL) from Health Canada for its VF3 Pro and VF3 Basic products. Both have been classified as Class 2 medical devices, signifying compliance with Canada’s rigorous health and safety standards, and affirming their efficacy. To date more than 1.5 million exams have been conducted using Virtual Field in the U.S.

“At Virtual Field, we are dedicated to enabling exceptional eye exam experiences for patients, doctors and technicians in every Canadian province and territory,” said Rachel Krug, CEO of Virtual Field. “Receiving the Medical Device Licenses from Health Canada is not only a testament to the quality and reliability of Virtual Field but also a crucial step in our ongoing journey to elevate patient care, transform eyecare practices and contribute to the advancement of the medical profession. We are excited to enter the Canadian market and look forward to building strong relationships with eyecare professionals across the country.”

With automated instructions, corrections and encouragements available in 38 languages, including English, French and many others commonly spoken in Canada, the Virtual Field eye exam experience helps break down language barriers, reducing the need for interpreters and improving the patient experience.
