Apparatus and a method therewith to quantify visual patterns in infants

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method therewith to quantify visual field in infants. The invention provides a novel solution to the unmet need of detection of defects in the visual field in infants and/or babies and providing an apparatus with a software framework to minimize the errors of recording the readings and increasing their precision and analyzing said results automatically using the software embedded in the system. Said apparatus to quantify visual field in infants comprise of a light projection device onto a dome-shaped hemispherical structure with an infra-red camera along with fixation lights, a means for monitoring responses of the subject during testing, a means for recording and analyzing the readings. Said means to detect and record the eye/head movement in the subject during testing comprises said infra red (IR) camera connected to a device wherein software application is embedded.
