Comparison of a New Head Mount Virtual Reality Perimeter (C3 Field Analyzer) With Automated Field Analyzer in Neuro-Ophthalmic Disorders.

Background: Automated perimetry in neurologically disabled patients is a challenge. We have devised a patient-friendly virtual reality perimeter, the C3 field analyzer (CFA). We aim to assess the utility of this as a visual field-testing device in neuro-ophthalmic patients for screening and monitoring.

Detecting phase transitions in a CaCl-HO system at low temperatures using a fiber-optic Fresnel reflection sensor.

Temperature-induced crystallization events in an aqueous calcium chloride solution in the concentration range of 15-40 mass% are monitored using an optical fiber Fresnel reflection sensor in the temperature range of 30°C to -200°C. The deviation of the phase boundary from equilibrium and the formation of an eutectic mixture followed by its densification during rapid cooling are inferred from the distinct signatures of the optical fiber sensor via the changes in refractive index. During the natural heating at laboratory ambient conditions, the optical signals impart the completion of dissolution of ice and CaCl·6HO.

Automated diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma using fundus and OCT images.

We describe a system for the automated diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma using fundus and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. Automatic screening will help the doctors to quickly identify the condition of the patient in a more accurate way. The macular abnormalities caused due to diabetic retinopathy can be detected by applying morphological operations, filters and thresholds on the fundus images of the patient.
