Abstract

Described herein is a method for optimization of the conditions of execution of the vision contrast test and the corresponding system with which to implement said method so as to be able to guarantee optimal conditions throughout the test session even when not it is not possible to respect the standards. Furthermore, the method comprises a self-calibration procedure, which definitively eliminates the operations of calibration of the system by specialized centers.

Claims (15)

1. A system for optimizing conditions of execution of a vision contrast test, comprising:

a display device ( 1 );

a microcomputer ( 2 );

an illumination sensor ( 3 ) which is positioned to receive light emitted by the display device upon the illumination sensor;

a colour-detection sensor ( 4 );

a signaling device ( 5 );

a connection interface ( 6 );

a mirror dome or deflector ( 7 ) which is positioned to direct the light emitted by the display device upon the illumination sensor and the colour-detection sensor; and

a computer ( 8 ), equipped with a graphic card, where the computer is in communication with the illumination sensor and signaling device, and further where the microcomputer regulates the graphic card via the computer.

2. The system according to claim 1 , characterized in that said microcomputer ( 2 ) is connected to said illumination sensor ( 3 ), to said colour-detection sensor ( 4 ), and to a connection interface ( 6 ).

3. The system according to claim 1 , characterized in that the display device ( 1 ) is an LCD.

4. The system according to claim 1 , characterized in that the signaling device ( 5 ) has coloured lights.

5. The system according to claim 1 , characterized in that the signalling device ( 5 ) has a multitone buzzer.

6. The system according to claim 1 , characterized in that the connection interface is of a USB or RS232 type.

7. The system according to claim 6 , characterized in that any adjustment of the emission of the display ( 1 ) is driven by the microcomputer through the USB interface, via said computer ( 8 ), given that the graphic card of said computer ( 8 ) is connected to said display ( 1 ).
