title: Twin channel infrared optometer for recording binocular accommodation.
abstract: A twin channel infrared (IR) optometer for recording accommodation from each eye is described. Some modifications to a conventional single channel optometer design are necessary to facilitate binocular recording. The optometer incorporates an on-line microcomputer for data acquisition and processing. Processing includes power spectrum and correlation analysis, and a facility for performing cursor controlled measurement of time delays. Accommodation responses recorded are shown to be independent of horizontal eye movements, and little affected by the drug used for mydriasis.
