Assessment of retinal morphology has advanced significantly due to the introduction of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) into clinical practice. Advances in the functional evaluation of retinal pathology are due to the use of microperimeter such as Nidek’s new MP3 unit.
The MP-3 measures local retinal sensitivity for functional assessment of the retina. The results can be displayed over a colour fundus image, correlating retinal anatomy to retinal function.
For enhanced clinical assessment, the device includes a wider range of stimulus intensity, from 0 to 34 dB, compared to the MP-1. The MP-3 measures perimetric threshold values, even for normal eyes. A maximum stimulus luminance of 10,000asb allows evaluation of low-sensitivity.
