Acute conjunctivitis test

■ AdenoPlus, from Nicox, is an FDA-cleared, CLIA-waived, rapid point-of-care diagnostic test that aids in the differential diagnosis of acute conjunctivitis. AdenoPlus detects adenovirus, which accounts for up to 90% of all viral conjunctivitis and approximately one out-of-four cases of acute conjunctivitis seen by eye-care practitioners, the company says. The test takes less than two minutes and provides a result in 10 minutes, the company says.

Retina test

■ The NOVA-PERG vision test, from Diopsys, Inc., is an office-based pattern electroretinography (PERG) test that measures retinal function. Patients view a screen that has alternating checkerboard patterns to prompt a PERG response. This helps you gain objective information about the performance of the inner retinal cells, especially in the macula, to diagnose and monitor vision disorders, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, the company says.
