EMERGENT TECHNIQUES FOR ASSESSMENT OF VISUAL PERFORMANCE

Psychophysical research has revealed in recent years that traditional measures of visual acuity and visual field only partially characterize the information processes of the human observer. This report provides a survey of recent psychophysical research that has the potential for broadening conventional assessment of visual function. The report also identifies areas of practice to which such psychophysical research techniques might be applied.
