Latest Patents
One of his latest inventions is the Macular Function Tester. This device is designed to conduct tests on the macula of a subject's eye to identify diseases such as age-related macular degeneration. It features a stimulus light source that includes a spheroidal chamber with a light emitting diode (LED) system, allowing for the emission of light in various colors and intensities. The device also incorporates an adapting light source to assist in removing the subject's dark adaptation, along with an alignment detection system to ensure proper gaze direction.
Another notable invention is a device to monitor retinal ischemia. This handheld, battery-powered device assesses significant retinal ischemia in a patient's eye by detecting the effects of impaired blood flow. It utilizes a light source and a diffuser to direct light toward the patient's eye, while electrodes placed on the skin near the eye capture the electrical response. A microcontroller interprets this signal to determine the degree of retinal ischemia, adjusting the light stimulus based on pupil size.
