Abstract of the Disclosure, A device for detecting localized retinal damage derives focal responses of the retina(5) from the global response of the retina to patterned stimuli(9) in one's visual field.

Each pattern also varies temporally either by being flashed before the patient or by being reversed in contrast at a fixed frequency. An electroretinogram (ERG) or magnetoretinogram (MRG) response(13) of the patient's eye(5) to the series of patterns is fed back into a computer(7) generating the patterns.
