Abstract

An instrument includes a housing with a lower hand-held portion having a user-input button and a display for displaying an MPOD score for the user. The instrument further includes a viewing tube coupled to the hand-held portion. The viewing tube terminates in an eye cup. The viewing tube is transverse to the lower hand-held portion and transmits light from a light source in a direction toward the macula. The light source is an LED and provides two colored lights alternating at an initial frequency that is not perceptible by the user. The frequency decreases from the initial frequency until the user activates the user-input button in response to a frequency at which the user perceives a flicker of the two colored lights. The frequency at the perceived flicker relates to the MPOD score of the user. The MPOD score correlates to the amount of macular pigment.
