Abstract: A system and method to identify and track eye-related symptoms are presented. A method of identifying an appropriate eye-care provider or to alert an established provider of new eye-related symptoms based on a user's experienced symptoms are disclosed. Based on a user's experienced symptoms, the system may provide for identifying an appropriate eye-care provider by providing the field of medicine, subfield of medicine, individual eye-care providers, or alert information relating to the user's experienced symptoms. The system may enable users or eye-care providers to track user symptoms as a means of determining whether prompt treatment of such symptoms is necessary. The system may assess a user's experienced symptoms and inform a user or an eye-care provider of whether the user needs prompt treatment.

Abstract: A system and method for assessing vision and tracking changes in vision is provided. A shape is presented on a display to a user who experiences partial or complete vision loss in the central or paracentral region of the visual field. The user manipulates the dimensions of the shape to correspond to a region of vision loss, and a metric is calculated to indicate the spatial extent of the region of vision loss. Metrics from previous assessments can be compared to track progression of visual impairment.
