Participants were tested using the MRF device, and their experiences, specifically comfort, satisfaction, ease of use, and acceptability, were recorded through structured questionnaires. The duration of the test and difficulties encountered by either clinicians or participants were also documented.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 369 patients were included. Age showed a negative correlation with ease of use (r = \u20130.142,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.006), with younger participants finding the MRF more user-friendly. Higher education level was also associated with greater usability (r = \u20130.258,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001). Overall, 96.2% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that the device was simple to use, and 84.3% reported satisfaction. A significant inverse relationship was found between test duration and satisfaction (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05), suggesting that patients who completed the test more quickly were more likely to report high satisfaction. Clinicians reported that minimal training was required to achieve satisfactory levels of perceived accuracy.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The MRF test demonstrates promising potential as a convenient, efficient, and patient-friendly tool for visual field testing, with satisfactory user-perceived reliability in busy clinical environments. However, the absence of direct comparison with the Humphrey Field Analyzer is a key limitation.<\/jats:p>\n
