Automated Visual Acuity Measurement Using Optokinetic Response to Stimulation With Gabor Patches

Visual acuity measurement is the most important functional marker for the assessment of the visual function. Current measurement paradigms are time consuming, dependent on patient cooperation and examiner skill and patience. Alternative testing methods such as visual evoked potentials are prone to artefacts, require a sophisticated setup and long preparation and measurement durations. We present a method to measure visual acuity based on the induction of specific movement patterns of the eye based on visual stimulation using Gabor patches. Combined with eye tracking for the detection and automated analysis algorithms.
