CONTRAST SENSITIVITY MEASUREMENT APPARATUS, CONTRAST SENSITIVITY MEASUREMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM

A display unit (16) outputs a stimulating image to an external display device (20). The stimulating image is obtained by synthesizing a luminance map in which luminance of each pixel is set in such a manner that a change in the luminance along a first axis follows a given spatial frequency, and a contrast map in which contrast of each pixel is set in such a manner that the contrast gradually decreases from one end to another end along a second axis and that an equal contrast line forms a given waveform. A response data generation unit (22) acquires a contrast value corresponding to each of the coordinates acquired by a user input receiving unit (21). A sensitivity calculation unit (23) calculates contrast sensitivity. A result output unit (25) outputs contrast sensitivity while adding reliability of the contrast sensitivity calculated by a reliability calculation unit (24) thereto.

REPORT DRIVEN WORKFLOW FOR OPHTHALMIC IMAGE DATA ACQUISITION

An improved workflow for acquiring image data of the eye of a patient is described. The workflow can be used with any ophthalmic diagnostic devices including an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) device. This workflow is referred herein as a report driven workflow. Under the report driven workflow, a plurality of report options are presented to the device operator. These report options are selectable to generate a report summarizing analysis relating to a specific pathology or region of the eye. A desired report option is selected by the device operator. Based on the selected report option, one or more scan types are automatically selected by the device software. Image data corresponding to the one or more scan types are captured using the ophthalmic diagnostic device. An analysis for the selected desired report option is generated based on the captured image data and is then presented to the device operator.

Mobile device and pupil recognition method

A mobile device comprises a pupil information collecting module and a master control module, such that the pupil information collecting module may be used for collecting pupil characteristic information of a user. The master control module may receive the pupil characteristic information of the user when the user accesses a controlled unit, and may determine, on the basis of the pupil characteristic in formation of the user, if the user is allowed to access the controlled unit. The mobile device may use the pupil characteristic information of the user to perform identity verification.

System and method for providing analysis of visual function using a mobile device with display

A visual function evaluation is performed using a sequence of interactions with a mobile device. A patient user may perform a variety of visual tests using the mobile device. The mobile device transmits the test results to a remote server implementing analysis of the visual function results using network service. The network service receives the test results, processes the results, and provides the processed results to a healthcare provider. The processed results may include trends of the user's visual function test performance. The healthcare provider, such as a physician, may optimize and administer treatment based on the data. Early detection of changes in visual function can enable the healthcare provider to individualize treatment, helping to prevent vision loss while minimizing visits to the office, discomfort, and expense.
