Egon Schumacher Foundation

The Schumacher Foundation supports projects and research in the field of Retinitis pigmentosa. Very useful insights have already been gained.

Pupillography

The Pupillographic Sleepiness Test (PST, F2D) of the company Amtech has been developed by us and is used intensively for research and diagnostic applications. So sleepiness can be objectively determined. In addition, we have developed more pupillographic gauges and deal currently mainly with Color Pupillography and pupil Campimetrie as an objective visual field examination method. More Information can be found on the website of Amtech

Road safety and the workplace
