Metropsis
Visual Function Assessment for Clinical ResearchA complete toolbox for psychophysical assessment of visual function
Fast, accurate, and more sensitive than standard tests
For normal, defective, paediatric, ageing and low vision populations

‘Beyond providing a set of well-designed and easy to administer tests of vision, the Metropsis system is a powerful tool for researchers. With Katia’s expert guidance, we have created new measurements, and readily integrated the Metropsis into experiments that record EEG.’
Metropsis is a complete toolbox
Metropsis is a complete test suite suitable for clinical, pre-clinical, drug trials, screening, sports science, applied vision and human factors research. Choose from a wide range of tests, including protocols designed for normal, paediatric, ageing and low vision populations – or we can develop a custom test for your project.
for faster more precise assessment of visual function
Metropsis is more sensitive than standard charts: ideal for investigating diseases of the eye and brain, as well as secondary effects of systemic disorders, such as cardiovascular disease or neurological function.
Metropsis Research 2.0 includes Metropsis Display++ technology (the screen displaying the ETDRS chart above) with a unique integrated sensor system, enabling the display to self-calibrate in real time. So you can be sure that your results are reliable and repeatable – even when performing long-term studies using multiple Metropsis systems across different sites.
