ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for quantifying visual function defects comprises a plurality of testing elements (1) having a surface (3) provided with a selected visual stimulus (5) and with a machine readable code (6) for uniquely identifying the stimulus (5). The apparatus further comprises a light pen (12) for reading the code (6) on each element (1) and a microprocessor (20) for analysing the codes (6) read by the light pen (12) in order to quantify the visual function defect.
