Scientists from the Moorfields Eye Hospital have invented a technology, Motion Displacement Test that will reduce the time taken for the detection of glaucoma. The novel technology is designed to catch one of the first symptoms of glaucoma, that is, the ability of the patient to spot speedy movement. The test is taken on a computer. The patient is asked to look at a dot in the centre which is surrounded by a number of white lines with a grey background. They are required to click a mouse when they notice a white line moving. Failure in spotting such movement indicates that they suffer from glaucoma.
