Apparatus and methods for testing visual function and functional vision at varying luminance levels

Apparatus configured for performing a test of visual function and/or functional vision at varying luminance levels, the apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of courses configured to facilitate performance of the test, a given one of the plurality of courses comprising a layout having a beginning point, at least one turn, at least one obstacle, and an ending point;
• wherein performing the test comprises:
• selecting a first course of the plurality of courses for a subject;
• illuminating the first course with a first luminance level based on an estimated lower light sensitivity cutoff, the estimated lower light sensitivity cutoff being the lowest light sensitivity at which the subject can successfully navigate a preliminary course of the plurality of courses when the estimated lower light sensitivity cutoff is measured;
• indicating to a subject to perform a first run of the test, the test comprising, from the beginning point to the ending point, navigating the layout of the first course by walking around the at least one turn and avoiding the at least one obstacle;
• and
• determining whether the subject successfully completed the first course based on one or both of speed or accuracy, speed describing the time to complete the first course, accuracy describing avoidance of obstacles.
