  • Patent number: 10413170
    Abstract: Through the present invention, a perimetry result is obtained for a position on a retina surface designated as a position to be tested. As illustrated in the drawing, “the position of a ganglion cell (RGC)” and “the position of a photoreceptor cell (C) for sending information to the ganglion cell (RGC)” are offset on the retina surface (macular part). Here, when position (P1) is designated as a test position for testing the functioning of a ganglion cell at position (P1), the perimeter of the present invention finds “the position (P2) of the photoreceptor cell for sending information to the ganglion cell at position (P1),” presents a visual target at position (P2) rather than position (P1), and tests a visual field. The information of the visual target is sent to the ganglion cell at position (P1), and the functioning of the ganglion cell can therefore be tested.

  • Publication number: 20190117059
    Abstract: In a perimetry to be conducted, designating an inspection region through a region designator, a perimeter is configured to set a required time of the perimetry (upper limit time) through an upper limit condition setter and to determine total number or positions of stimulus presentation spots based upon the upper limit time. In such a configuration, an examinee knows the time to finish the inspection, and is able to highly keep his (her) concentration in comparison with a case where the required time is not known, thereby improving precision of the inspection.

  • Patent number: 9826897
    Abstract: In a perimetry to be conducted, designating an inspection region through a region designator, stimuli are presented to regions separated in an up/down direction, an oblique direction and a right/left direction from the inspection region (“the spaced region”) in addition to the designated inspection region. At the result, examinees are not able to predict to which of both regions, the inspection region and the spaced region the stimuli are presented, thereby obtaining correct inspection results that do not receive a prediction of the examinees.

  • Patent number: 9489917
    Abstract: A color perception test has a color matching processor that executes a color matching processing on a color monitor, and an image display controller that displays two or more images for color perception test in order on the color monitor on which the color matching processing was done. When displaying each image for color perception test, a color perception test is done in a state that one of its hue, brightness, saturation and display time is changed and the other elements are fixed. Since the color perception tester has the color matching processor, colors of the image are not changed with passage of time different from color printed one, and correct test can be done thereby. If the test is periodically done on some examinee, a degree of decreasing color perception function by aging can be exactly known.

  • Patent number: 9089260
    Abstract: [Problem] To increase, compared to conventional devices, the range of motion of the light emitter (fixation lamp) in an external fixation lamp for an ophthalmological instrument and allow movement of the light emitter to arbitrary positions. [Solution] The fixation lamp (1) has a first arm (A1), which supports a light emitter (2) and is supported by a second arm (A2) via a first joint (C1), and is configured so that the first arm (A1) is able to revolve around at least two axes of revolution (E1, E2) by means of the first joint (C1) and said axes of rotation (E1, E2) are not disposed on the same line. Thereby, the range in which the light emitter (2) can be moved can be increased compared to conventional devices and the light emitter can be moved to an arbitrary position in an arbitrary direction.
