Rabin Cone Contrast Test Detects Changes Associated with Eye and Neurological Disease, Potentially Aiding the Preservation of Eyesight and Reducing the Overall Cost of Healthcare
• A Color Vision Test Sensitive Enough to Detect Severity of Cone Deficiency • Can Determine Hereditary & Acquired Color Deficiency in a Single Test • Used to Detect & Monitor Acquired Color Deficiency in Eye Disease & Poor Retinal Health AMD Glaucoma Diabetic Retinopathy MS Parkinson’s Disease Retinal Toxicity due to High Risks meds such as Plaquenil o Macular Pigment Density loss o o o
Rabin Cone Contrast Test • Colored letters stimulate single cone types • Decreasing contrast steps detects cone function threshold • Numeric scores provide Hereditary vs. Acquired information • Comparisons detects significant changes in function
Achievements • 15 Years of US Air Force research • Published, Peer Reviewed • Validated against Anomaloscope • Approved as Sole Color Vision Test for US Air Force • Over 400 in Use Worldwide
Color Normals vs. Deficients 66
Custom Calibration • Calibrated for color and contrast • Detects sub-standard monitors & end-of-life color meters • Scheduled in-field calibration adapts to clinic or research • Ensures validity and repeatability of results

Current Research • Military - Cases of Optic Neuropathy o o Identified with Rabin Cone Contrast Test that was missed by all other equipment. Cone recovery shown with RCCT • Military – Central Serous Retinopathy • Military – Traumatic Brain Injury o • Duke University - Dry. AMD o o • Identified with RCCT Clinical Trial results: the AREDS 3 intermediate AMD group exhibited visual dysfunction on the Rabin Cone Contrast Test, in the presence of normal visual acuity Phase II clinical trial begins fall 2014 Case studies – Macular Pigment Density o o Reduced Rabin Cone Contrast scores with low macular pigment density loss Identified prior to OCT and visual acuity changes
Patient Benefit • Identification of patients at-risk for developing disease • Earlier recognition and intervention of disease • Rapid detection of disease progression • Evaluation of treatment efficacy Improved Quality of Care
Financial Benefit • Increases Medicare billings for 92283 - Extended Color Vision Exam • Drives Medicare billings of structural diagnostic equipment • Increases clinic economic throughput by identifying patients most in need of care $ Increased Per-Patient Revenue
