Instrument Overview
Thank you for purchasing the Humphrey Matrix® Visual Field Instrument, featuring
Frequency Doubling Technology.
The Humphrey Matrix Visual Field Instrument is an innovative, efficient, and compact
automated visual field testing instrument. Years of research and clinical trials of the
patented Frequency Doubling Technology have resulted in an instrument that provides
rapid, clinically validated and user-friendly visual field testing.
Frequency Doubling Technology (FDT)
Frequency Doubling Technology (FDT) isolates a subset of low redundancy, retinal ganglion
cell mechanisms in the magnocellular (M-cell) pathway. These M-cells have large diameter
fibers and comprise only 3% to 5% of all retinal ganglion cells. Damage to these cells, for
example in the glaucoma disease process, is detected by Frequency Doubling Technology.
Key features of the Humphrey Matrix:
• World-class clinical validation by leading researchers in the field
• Statistically significant correlation to the Humphrey Field Analyzer
• Extensive age-normative reference database
• Accurate & reliable supra-threshold screening tests in less than 1 minute per eye
• Full-threshold test results in five minutes per eye
• 24-2, 30-2, 10-2, N-30 and Macula FDT full-threshold tests
• FDT N-30 threshold and screening tests
• Video eye monitoring for patient alignment and fixation monitoring
• Easy to use; no special operator training or certification is needed
