Claims9
A method of vision therapy comprising:
- presenting, on a user interface, an option to select a phosphene test to perform;
- receiving a selection of the phosphene test;
- presenting, on a user interface, an option to select the right eye or the left eye as a first eye for testing;
- executing the phosphene test on the first eye by:
- delivering an output stimulus to the region of the first eye starting at a first amplitude, and increasing the amplitude of the output stimulus;
- receiving a first indication of partial field phosphenes being observed by the patient;
- storing a second amplitude upon receipt of the first indication as a partial phosphene threshold;
- and
- continuing to increase the amplitude of the output stimulus until at least one of:
- identifying a stop condition;
- or
- receiving a second indication of full field phosphenes being observed by the patient.
