US Patent:

20090091707, Apr 9, 2009

Filed:

Oct 3, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/906643

Inventors:

John B. Rush - Gold Beach OR, US
Dustin J. Rush - Portland OR, US

International Classification:

A61B 3/02

US Classification:

351222, 351246

Abstract:

A physiologic test, and a system for implementing this test, including, from a methodologic point of view, (a) illuminating the central field in a test subject's eye with a relative-motion test image produced on an image display structure by a motion-image-creation structure, (b) by such illuminating, creating a related, subject-perception image, (c) requesting a subject report describing the observed presence and nature, if any, of a distortion, relative to the test image, in the perception image, and (d) thereafter utilizing such a report to assess a test subject's physiologic condition involving macular, paramacular, and neural-pathway physiologic degeneration. A preferred test image, which is fully adjustable by a test administrator with respect to substantially all of its image parameters, takes the form of an image field of elongate, spaced, parallel lines, having edges which distinctly contrast with a background field, and which move smoothly and linearly across the image field.
