New Automatic Portable Ophthalmology Device
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating O-Glass and Swinging Flashlight Test for Multiple Sclerosis and Glaucoma. Completed, enrolled 44 participants.
Detailed Summary
This study is to evaluate the ability of a newly designed device, Optic Nerve Glass (O-Glass) to detect relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD). In this prospective study, 44 patients (diagnosed RAPD- positive) enrolled the study. They were examined for an RAPD by O-Glass and also manual swinging flashlight method (SFM) . This newly designed instrument captures and records eye pictures. The images will be processed and analyzed using computerized software to calculate pupillary measurements.

Timeline
Interventions
The new diagnostic device to distinguish relative afferent pupillary defect(RAPD).
The swinging-flashlight test is used to help a practitioner identify a relative afferent pupillary defect.For an adequate test, vision must not be entirely lost. In dim room light, the examiner notes the size of the pupils. The patient is asked to gaze into the distance, and the examiner swings the beam of a penlight back and forth from one pupil to the other, and observes the size of pupils and reaction in the eye that is lit.
