abstract = {Navigation is essential for moving between locations in our
daily lives. We investigated the relationship between visual
impairment in glaucoma and path-integration-based
navigation. Fourteen glaucoma and 15 controls underwent
ophthalmological examination (including visual acuity
(logMAR), visual field sensitivity (MD: mean deviation from
matched reference cohort), and peripapillary retinal nerve
fiber layer (pRNFL)). Both groups navigated physically in
virtual reality (VR) environments during daylight and dawn
conditions. Briefly, the participants traversed a path
marked by three targets, subsequently pointing back to the
path's origin. Outcome measures included (i) travel-time,
(ii) pointing-time, and (iii) Euclidian-distance error
between indicated and starting position. Robust linear
regression was conducted between visual function outcomes of
the better eye and VR outcome measures. Glaucoma patients
showed increase in travel-time (by 8.2 ± 1.7 s; p = 0.002)
and in pointing-time (by 5.3 ± 1.6 s; p = 0.016).
Predictors were MD for all outcome measures (p < 0.01) and
pRNFL for travel-time (p < 0.01). The results suggest that
the effect of glaucoma on the elapsed time depends on
disease progression, i.e. people with stronger visual
impairment need more time. This uncertainty during everyday
navigation tasks may adversely affect their quality of
life.},
