** This version allows maximum number of field saves to 8 times. This version has limited functionality and for demonstration purpose. ******* Melbourne Rapid Fields (MRF) is designed to be used by patients, doctors and researchers to test users' visual field. Problems in the visual field occurs in eye conditions such as glaucoma, retinal disease and other optic neuropathies, as well as in neurological conditions (stroke, MS). MRF Glaucoma has been designed to detect abnormalities in the visual field both centrally and in the periphery (up to 30 degrees from central fixation point). MRF is a TGA (Aus) registered Perimeter. MRF Glaucoma is at present designed to be used only by clinicians (ophthalmologist, optometrists) or vision researchers or by patients under the direct guidance of the aforementioned professionals. The use of the software by patients without the guidance of clinicians or vision researcher is not supported. This software is not to be used for self diagnosis vision conditions. It is not a substitute for formal eye testing by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Modules within the MRF Glaucoma application include: 1. Full threshold test for entire visual field up to 30 degree from fixation. (average test time 3-4 minutes) 2. Full threshold test for macular region. (average test time 2 minutes) 3. Screening test for entire visual field up to 30 degrees (average test time 1.5-2 minutes) Longitudinal comparison of test results is performed at the end of each test. Test results are stored and can be accessed through an online portal. Test results can be exported as comma separated values (.CVS) format and imported into Excel for detailed point-to-point analysis (for vision research purpose). Features: 1. Full field test 2. Central field only test (primarily for neurophthalmic use) 3. Macular test 4. Full threshold test and screening test 5. Respond to spots either using screen touch or Bluetooth Keyboard. 6. Longitudinal test result comparison with progression analysis. 7. Saving of test results under multiple testing accounts. 8. Automatic saving of data online and access data via online portal. 9. Calculation of Mean Deviation, Pattern Deviation and Visual Capacity percentage. 10. Recording of false positives, false negatives and fixation losses. 11. Export data in CVS form. 12. Link patient accounts to clinician account online. MRF is developed by Dr George Kong, an ophthalmologist with subspecialty interest in glaucoma (and developer of first and popular prototype VisualField easy app that was supported by AMP Tomorrow Maker Foundation) and Prof Algis Vingrys, vision scientist and optometrist with 20+ years of research and clinical experience.
