  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ASSESSING PHOTORECEPTOR FUNCTION
    Publication number: 20230210368
    Abstract: A method for non-invasive assessment of photoreceptor function in a mammalian subject comprises exposing a subject's eye to a visible light stimulus to initiate an intrinsic reflectance response in one or a population of photoreceptors and capturing multiple images of photoreceptor's intrinsic reflectance response to the stimulus. Patterns of variability in the intrinsic reflectance response of a single photoreceptor or population of photoreceptors are useful in diagnosis and treatment monitoring of an ocular condition, disease, disorder or a response to treatment for said ocular condition, disease or disorder.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 1, 2023
    Publication date: July 6, 2023
    Applicant: The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania
    Inventors: Jessica I. W. Morgan, David H. Brainard, Robert F. Cooper, William S. Tuten
