    The Mesoptometer Model I and Nyktometer showed good correlation in classifying visual function, despite individual measurement variability. Both instruments agreed on results for 85% of eyes tested under mesopic conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Visual Science
    • Low Vision Assessment

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of visual function under low light conditions is crucial for diagnosing and managing visual impairments.
    • Existing instruments for assessing mesopic vision, such as the Mesoptometer Model I and Nyktometer, require comparative validation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the performance of the Mesoptometer Model I (Oculus) and the Nyktometer (Rodenstock) in assessing mesopic visual function.
    • To evaluate the correlation between these two instruments when classifying visual performance based on established ophthalmological standards.

    Main Methods:

    • Monocular comparison of the Mesoptometer Model I and Nyktometer in 328 eyes.
    • Measurements were taken under mesopic conditions, both with and without dazzle.

  • Results were categorized according to the normal limits set by the German Ophthalmological Society.

    • Main Results:

    • Individual measurements showed considerable variation between the two instruments, particularly under mesopic conditions with dazzle.
    • Despite measurement variability, a good correlation was observed when results were classified into categories.
    • Approximately 85% of the eyes tested yielded results that fell into the same classification category for both instruments.

    Conclusions:

    • The Mesoptometer Model I and Nyktometer demonstrate good agreement in classifying visual function under mesopic conditions, aligning with German Ophthalmological Society standards.
    • While individual readings may vary, the instruments provide comparable diagnostic categorization for low vision assessment.
    • These findings support the use of both devices for evaluating mesopic visual acuity in clinical ophthalmology.
