Latest news from the AV clinic - visual field meter is in place

This particular instrument is well suited to the Eikholt because you can choose between automatic and fully manual tests. The latter is good because we can then use the time we need and the person being examined can get better information during the test. The instrument can also test a number of other visual functions such as "adaptation time". This means that you can check how long it takes the test person to adapt to different light levels. The instrument can also test which colours cause the least and most glare. "We think this will be useful in our project on filter glasses. We have discovered that not everyone wants yellow or yellow-brown filter glasses. Some people get a better effect with green and blue filters, for example. With this instrument, we can test the relative and selective sensitivity to different wavelengths of light.

In short, the newcomer to Eikholt will help us do an even better job.
