title: Probing visual function with psychophysics and photochemistry.
abstract: New methods using computer based measurements and image analysis techniques can improve and expand our ability to investigate non-invasively the function of the retina in patients. These can provide insight into the underlying mechanism of an abnormality and further our understanding of disease processes.
