Microperimetry GUI

A graphical interface for viewing microperimetry data on the EDTRS grid.

Under Construction!

Background

Microperimetry data is collected from patients using a specialized device that shines a bright light on small parts of the retina, typically in some predefined pattern. The patient is asked to stare at a target while the machine provides flashes of light. The flashes increases in intensity until the patient can detect it, at which point they report seeing the flash. The process is repeated over some predefined pattern, and the intensities of the "I saw it" flashes are recorded for across a grid on the retina. The software I built visualizes those recorded intensities on a standard reference pattern, the ETDRS grid, that all Ophthalmologists and researchers are familiar with.

Microperimetry is helpful for understanding how progressive retinal degeneration proceeds, and how it individual patients may be affected over time.

Usage

1. Install MATLAB, R2021a or later.
2. Start MATLAB.
3. Add all subfolders to the MATLAB path (see genpath(), addpath() and pwd()).
4. Open microperimetry_gui.mlapp by double-clicking or equivalent.
5. User interface is mostly self-explanatory, more information will be forthcoming when the project is needed again.
