OCULUS Mesotest® II

Examination of Mesopic Vision and Glare Sensitivity

The Mesotest^® II is an instrument for testing mesopic vision and glare sensitivity.

This testing is an important supplement to photopic vision testing, especially for assessment of night driving ability and for occupational capability examinations.

Pre- and post-operative testing of the mesopic vision and glare sensitivity of patients with intraocular lenses, or those who have undergone refractive surgery, is recommended, as well as for prescription of tinted lenses.

Freespace

Tests are conducted under normal visual conditions, without device accommodation.

PD-Independent

The unit is dimensioned so that the results are not affected by different pupillary distances of the patients.

Reliable and Easy

The test sequence is programmed thus guaranteeing reliable operation.

Flexible

As the unit has an enclosed viewer, measurement is possible even in brightly lit rooms.
