  • Publication number: 20240000308
    Abstract: A method for performing a full-field stimulus threshold (FST) test on a test subject, the method comprising: delivering at least one visual stimulus to at least one eye of the test subject, wherein the least one visual stimulus comprises a flash of light having an intensity and a duration, wherein the intensity of the flash of light is adjusted over the duration of the flash of light; obtaining at least one response from the test subject, wherein the at least one response corresponds to whether the test subject perceived the at least one visual stimulus; and determining the lowest intensity of light that the test subject is able to perceive based on the at least one response from the test subject.

  • Patent number: 11497911
    Abstract: Apparatus for ophthalmic electrophysiological testing, the apparatus comprising: an EER stimulator for providing an electrical stimulus to an eye so as to evoke an electrophysiological response, wherein the EER stimulator comprises a power source; an amplifier for receiving the electrophysiological response and measuring that response, wherein the amplifier is integrated with the EER stimulator; and at least one switch disposed between the power source and the amplifier for isolating the power source from the amplifier when the electrical stimulus is delivered to the eye.
