  • Publication number: 20180173013
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to sensor systems. Sensor system may comprise a substrate configured to be disposed adjacent an eye of a user, at least a pair of driver electrodes disposed adjacent the substrate, the driver electrodes configured to facilitate passage of an electrical current through the eye, wherein each of the driver electrodes are configured to exhibit a current density of less than 70 ?A/mm2 when a current of 100 ?A is passing therethrough, at least a pair of sensor electrodes disposed adjacent the substrate and spaced from the driver electrodes, the pair of sensor electrodes configured to sense a potential difference across at least a portion of the eye, as measured between the pair of sensor electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20120182523
    Abstract: The invention relates to test-retest variability in tests of visual fields, and methods and systems useful in reducing this variability. The various methods and systems of the invention use gaze-direction data to improve the estimate of scotoma edges and to otherwise adjust for test-retest variability in perimetry.

  • Patent number: 7841718
    Abstract: The invention administers an objective clinical test to an eye that measures the visual sensitivity of the superior retina and the inferior retina, by alternately presenting a stimulus pair comprising a shaped superior light stimulus and a shaped inferior light stimulus that are horizontal mirror images of one another and have shapes encompassing visual field defects. The shaped superior and inferior light stimuli stimulate pupillary responses whose amplitudes are measured. A cycle-averaged pupillary response balance and a luminance ratio are computed for each presentation of a stimulus pair. A stimulus pair response curve is computed by fitting cycle-averaged pupillary response balances to a sigmoid function of the luminance ratios. A balanced luminance ratio at which the cycle-averaged pupillary response balance is equal to about zero is computed from the sigmoid function. The balanced luminance ratio is indicative of the presence and location of retinal nerve damage.
