Abstract
Apparatus for evoking and sensing ophthalmic physiological signals in an eye, the apparatus comprising: an elongated light pipe having a longitudinal axis, a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end terminating in a spheroidal recess; and an electrode having a distal end and a proximal end, the electrode being mounted to the elongated light pipe and extending proximally along the elongated light pipe so that the distal end of the electrode terminates at the spheroidal recess at the distal end of the elongated light pipe.

Apparatus for evoking and sensing ophthalmic physiological signals in an eye, the apparatus comprising:
- an elongated light pipe having a longitudinal axis, a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end terminating in a spheroidal recess;
- and
- an electrode having a distal end and a proximal end, the electrode being mounted to the elongated light pipe and extending proximally along the elongated light pipe so that the distal end of the electrode terminates adjacent to the spheroidal recess at the distal end of the elongated light pipe.
A method for evoking and sensing ophthalmic physiological signals in an eye, the method comprising:
- providing apparatus comprising:
- an elongated light pipe having a longitudinal axis, a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end terminating in a spheroidal recess;
- and
- an electrode having a distal end and a proximal end, the electrode being mounted to the elongated light pipe and extending proximally along the elongated light pipe so that the distal end of the electrode terminates at the spheroidal recess at the distal end of the elongated light pipe;
- positioning the elongated light pipe against an eye of a test subject;
- and
- introducing light into the proximal end of the elongated light pipe.
