Distraction with VR (Virtual Reality) headsets

VR headsets will be fitted and applied in consultation with the study participants. Distraction material will be selected from a range of options based on the participant's preferences, such as watching/listening to a story, an experience of being in nature, or mindfulness. When applying the VR headsets, care will be taken to ensure no light leaks into the eyes and that the headband and headphones are not perceived as too tight. This is especially important in terms of the risk for motion sickness (cyber sickness). The VR headsets will then be used throughout the examination procedure and removed once the bandage has been applied.
