Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for, and a method of, determining visual risk assessment. In many jurisdictions Health and Safety Regulations require an employer to provide employees with an appropriate eye test, particularly where an employee has to use Display Screen Equipment (DSE). The invention is a method for determining visual risk assessment comprising the steps of: obtaining a characteristic measurement of an eye; deriving data from said measurement; and processing the data to derive a value indicative of a state and/or function and/or operational condition of the eye at a given instant; and transferring data to an output for assessment. Thus by use of the invention, and the related apparatus, it is possible to ascertain the risks associated with the type and amount of strain to which an eye is being subjected.
