Method of identifying and eye disorder of an observer and apparatus for implementing the same

摘要

Systems and methods for using an interocular inhibition procedure (IIP) for discriminating between anisometropic amblyopia and myopia, two disorders commonly confused in visual examination without proper optical correction. Opaque and translucent patching are positioned over the fellow (or untested) eye resulting in different contrast sensitivities in the amblyopic (or tested) eye. A pinhole aperture may be used for identifying amblyopia and myopia/hyperopia.
