Medical Applications
Melan-100 is the very first instrument available for testing retina and optic nerve function based on the
evaluation of spectral properties of the pupil light reflex.
Melan-100 can be used as a valuable additional diagnostic tool for diagnosis of:
- Sudden acquired retinal degeneration (SARD)
- Immune-mediated steroid responsive retinitis
- Retinal degeneration (hereditary)
- Chorio-retinitis/retinitis
- Retinal detachment
- Glaucoma
- Optic neuritis/ meningitis; pituitary tumor, chiasmal tumor
- Brain tumor/ visual cortex damage
- Ophthalmoplegia interna/ extern
A very fast and easy way to differentiate between;
- Retinal Disease (NO response for RED and GOOD response for BLUE)
- Optic Nerve/CNS disease ( NO response for RED and NO response for BLUE)
