The invention provides an advantageous system and corresponding method for measuring a plurality of aspects of vision. It is a computer-implemented, user-interactive system which can be used by practitioners such as opticians to measure and assess a patient's visual acuity. It comprises a handheld computing device arranged and configured to present at least one optotype to a user (patient) within a gamified environment. This aspect of the invention provides the advantage that it is more easily used by certain types of patients, such as children, the elderly or those suffering from medical / clinical conditions who would typically struggle to use traditional measuring tools. In a preferred embodiment, the optotype has at least one characteristic selected to facilitate the measurement of at least one, or preferably at least two, aspects of visual function; and the invention is arranged to detect the user's response to the optotype to provide a measurement of at least one or at least two aspects of visual function. Advantageously, this can be achieved in one ‘sitting’. The plurality of aspects of visual function can include visual acuity, central visual field, contrast sensitivity, stereopsis and / or colour vision, detection acuity of vision, resolution acuity of vision (spatial resolution or identification of static of dynamic directionality), recognition acuity of vision, hyperacuity of vision, temporal acuity of vision, spectral acuity of vision. The at least one optotype is repeatedly presented to the user, and the at least one characteristic is altered upon each repetition. The repetition may continue until a threshold or limit is reached. The at least one characteristic relates to the level of detail, contrast, colour, position or movement of the at least one optotype.

A method for testing a plurality of regions in a color space to identify any of, or a subcombination of, the following color vision deficiencies: protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, and related anomalies. A set of distractor colors is distributed across a region of color space such that the confusion line through a single target color intersects approximately the middle of the set. The distractor set spans a region extending in both chromaticity and luminance, which provides leeway for display errors since the confusion line will intersect the set even if colors do not render exactly as specified, and color deficient observers would still not be able to identify the target. A web-based implementation enables remote testing of subjects.

A method of driving a display device includes displaying both a natural image and a color vision test image on the display unit. The color vision test image is an image used to determine whether a person has a color vision impairment. A color adjustment user interface for adjusting color of the display unit is displayed on the display unit. A color adjustment instruction that instructs to adjust color of the display unit is received via an input unit. Supply image data supplied to the display unit is adjusted based on the color adjustment instruction by using a controller.

To provide a functional spectral filter through which, it is possible for an observer wearing the functional spectral filter to change his or her color sensitivity (ease of color distinction), and which is for designing a color scheme easy to be distinguished for a color deficient observer by using the filter. A functional spectral filter including a multilayer is formed in accordance with a thin film design (an optimization method) determined by use of a color vision theory so as to make color sensitivity into a desired pattern. With respect to combinations that two colors among a plurality of specified colors are combined, color differences in the respective combinations are made close to a color difference given in advance. Alternatively, with respect to specified combinations, the color differences are made small or the color differences are made large.

The present invention relates to a system, device and a method for objective visual field testing and in particular, to such a system and method in which provides objective chromatic perimetry test or color vision test using a pupillometer.
