ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for measuring visual function under simulated nighttime conditions where the pupil is large by maintaining extremely low ambient illumination when the test is performed in a darkened room, the apparatus including a test field defining a plurality of recognizable indicia of variable irradiance which appear on a black background having zero irradiance, the test field being either transilluminated or illuminated by projection, and a field stop having a plurality of apertures of progressive sizes which are placed in front of the eye of the person being tested to ascertain the true functional optical zone of the cornea.
