Rabin Cone Contrast Testby Innova Systems

• 15 Years of US Air Force research

• Published, Peer Reviewed

• Validated against Anomaloscope

• Innova Approved as Sole Color Vision Test for US Air Force

• Over 400 in Use Worldwide

• Colored letters stimulate single cone type / pathway

• Decreasing contrast steps detects cone function threshold

• Numeric scores provide Hereditary vs. Acquired discrimination

• Change over time metric

Cone Contrast Sensitivity

Rabin Cone Contrast Test by Innova Systems

• A Color Vision Test Sensitive Enough to Detect Severity of Cone Deficiency

• Used to Detect and Monitor Acquired Color Deficiency– AMD– Glaucoma– Diabetic Retinopathy– MS– Parkinson’s Disease– TBI– Retinal Toxicity due to High

Risks meds such as Plaquenil

BLUE CONE LOSS1. Acquired blue cone loss occurs early in

eye disease, sometimes before visual field defect(s)

2. Very few blue cones: small amount of damage has large effect

3. Secondary to disease, trauma or toxicity

Current Research• Military - Cases of Optic Neuropathy

– Identified with RCCT that was missed by all other equipment. – Cone recovery shown with RCCT.

• Military – Central Serous Retinopathy• Military – Traumatic Brain Injury

– Identified with RCCT

• Duke University – Dry AMD– 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

– New clinical trial begins fall 2014

• Other: Diabetes , MS, Plaquenil, Alzheimers, Glaucoma, Macular Pigment Density Loss

Patient BenefitSimultaneous Hereditary + Acquired Color Vision Evaluation

1. Identification of patients at-risk for developing disease.

2. Earlier recognition and intervention of disease.

3. Rapid detection of disease progression.

4. Evaluation of treatment efficacy.

Improved Quality of
