This systematic review investigates the current state of eye tracking technology integrated into virtual reality for the spectrum of pediatric ophthalmology. The search encompassed the MEDLINE database via PubMed, without imposing any time restrictions. A total of 20 relevant studies that met our inclusion criteria were incorporated and categorized into the following domains: diagnosis, examination, treatment, and rehabilitation use of virtual reality devices within the realm of pediatric ophthalmology. Strabismus examinations and postoperative monitoring, inherited retinal degeneration examination and visual function testing, therapy of amblyopia, glaucoma visual field testing, cerebral visual impairment rehabilitation, and neuro-ophthalmic disease examination were included in the final analysis. Pediatric ophthalmology offers a promising landscape for the integration of eye tracking technology within virtual reality, with accelerated, quantifiable, and objective examination and diagnosis, and precise, real-time measurements that are crucial in children. Virtual reality is an engaging experience, easily applied in a pediatric setting and facilitating compliance during examination and adherence to therapy. Although our systematic review provides insights into the current state of research, it is anticipated that further exploration is required for the widespread utilization of eye tracking in virtual reality within pediatric ophthalmology. <b>[<i>J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus</i>. 2024;61(6):381-390.]</b>.</p>","PeriodicalId":50095,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus","volume":" ","pages":"381-390"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141983736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
