Flipper for Glaucoma and Pigmentary Retinopathy

DESCRIPTION

Flipper for contrast vision and light sensitivity testing of patients with glaucoma and pigmentary retinopathy.

Glaucoma is often associated with high intraocular pressure inside the eye, slowly destroying the optic nerve. This gradually leads to a deterioration of the peripheral visual field. Often painless, it can lead to permanent blindness if left untreated.

Pigmentary retinopathy is a genetic disease that attacks the photoreceptor cells of the retina. The field of vision becomes tubular with central vision only. Retinopathy gradually can lead to blindness too.

Patients with both conditions experience colour vision defects and severe light sensitivity.

UV light is harmful to the eye, but it has been shown that blue light also has a harmful effect. These are the short, energetic waves of daylight. When it enters the eye, its diffusion creates deformation of the image on the retina, leading to a reduction in contrast. The purpose of the filters is to suppress this light to make vision more comfortable. Sensitivity to glare will be reduced. There is an increase in contrast and acuity, and therefore comfort. The filter will select the wavelengths that can enter the eye.
