Is there a need to seek the consent of the ethics committee to conduct research involving the study of people's field of view using automated perimeter and created software in the context of the publication of the findings in PLoS ONE journal? During the test, there will be no risk to the subjects.
This type of study would definitely require review by the IRB or the equivalent review board. See PLOS guidelines: http://www.plosone.org/static/editorial#human.
Yes, any study involving human subjects requires approval by an ethics committee. On the other hand, it will almost certainly be approved.
Oh yes! any research not only involving human but also animals requires ethics approval.
Although testing of visual fields is suggestive of bearing no risk for patients there may happen unusual events. Since testing of visual fields for study purpose is an intervention (even if a minor procedure) you need an ethics committee statement.
•As the test will take some time and maybe some extra fees, the IRB review is mandatory to make sure that there is no force and financial burden on the patients.
•Patients who do not need the test for their own therapeutic purposes should not be forced to cooperate in any research project.
