  • Glaucoma screening system and method
    Publication number: 20030149350
    Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium for efficiently screening patients for glaucoma is disclosed. The method includes attaching electrodes to a patient for measuring the response to stimulus. Then, a first set of stimuli patterns is presented on a display and a first set of signals from the electrodes is received. Then, a second set of stimuli patterns is presented on a display and a second set of signals from the electrodes is received. Next, the first set of signals is averaged with the second set of signals to produce a source data set. The source data set is compared with control data. Finally, using the information from the comparing step, it is determined whether the patient is afflicted with glaucoma.
