A visual function test includes displaying to a subject a bleaching graphic to exposure a subject to bright light followed by a dark graphic that includes a contrast widget, such as a low- contrast widget. A contrast widget may indicate a function to be performed by a subject, for example using the subject's point of gaze. A subject's point of gaze may be tracked to determine whether the subject performs a function indicated by a contrast widget. By using a dark graphic including a contrast widget after a bleaching graphic, ability of a subject to adapt to darkness can be tested. A test may include more than one cycle of such graphics, for example in order to obtain multiple measurements and/or test whether a subject is able to perform different functions. A test may be performed using a virtual- and/or augmented- and/or mixed-reality device, for example that has eye-tracking capability.

Complement activation occurs via three main pathways: the antibody-dependent classical pathway, the alternative pathway, and the mannose-binding lectin (MBL) pathway. Inappropriate or excessive complement activation is an underlying cause or contributing factor to a number of serious diseases and conditions, and considerable effort has been devoted over the past several decades to exploring various complement inhibitors as therapeutic agents. Methods, systems, and compositions for genomic editing of a gene encoding a complement protein, e.g., C3, are disclosed.
