  • Glaucoma detection utilizing pattern discrimination test
    Patent number: 4634243
    Abstract: The present invention psychophysically detects earliest signs of loss of vision due to nerve loss in glaucoma and ocular hypertension. An instrument employs a dynamic random dot background field and a movable target that consists of a circular area in which the dots are spatially and temporally coherent. Thus, visual fields will be based on pattern discrimination rather than on conventional measures of luminance discrimination.
