  • Patent number: 4697598
    Abstract: An evoked potential autorefractometry system includes a computer driving an alternating checkerboard mirror stimulus to project a stimulus pattern directly to a patient through a continuously variable focus lens controlled by the computer and which maintains a constant image size on the patient's retina. The evoked potentials produced by the patient are amplified, asychronously filtered both in an analog and digital fashion to allow peak to peak detection of the evoked potentials to determine amplitude. The digital filter includes a 255 point running sum. The peak to peak amplitudes are asychronously digitally filtered using a 16 point running sum to produce an amplitude measure of the evoked potentials. The lens is swept rapidly from one extreme of focus to the other extreme in relatively large steps to determine the area in which the peak amplitude occurs.
