The MPS II uses the scientifically-proven technique of heterochromatic flicker photometry (HFP) to measure macular pigment optical density (MPOD), with a choice of two test modes: Standard (central) and Detailed (both central and peripheral).
To monitor the decline or increase of macular pigment over a period of months or years, an MPOD test needs to be accurate and reproducible. We have clinical data which proves the MPS II delivers in this area. The team, led by inventor Professor Ian Murray, designed it with key technological benefits front of mind.
→ Fast, comfortable test format specifically designed for patient comfort
→ Standard test measures MPOD in ~90 seconds per eye
→ Accurate (S.D. ± 0.187 ¹) and reproducible (r = 0.97 ²) estimate of MPOD
→ Light, mobile and electronically stable so regular calibration is not required
→ Software indicates the reliability of MPOD measurement as it is performed
→ Readily operable by all levels of staff
