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 first light source towards a reflector and is reflected off the reflector through an aperture in a blocking wall and in a direction toward the macula. The first light source is an LED and provides two colored lights alternating at a frequency to create a flicker. The frequency is used to determine an amount of macular pigment of the macula of the user. A second light source is located in the first portion of the viewing tube and configured to illuminate a surface of the blocking wall.
