The Amsler grid is a tool that eye doctors use to detect vision problems resulting from damage to themacula(the central part of theretina) or the optic nerve. The damage may be caused bymacular degenerationor othereye diseases, so the Amsler grid is useful in detecting these problems. An e...
vision testingPurpose: To determine the correlation between a group of vision tests in atrophic macular degeneration (AMD) in an office setting. Methods: Patients with documented vision loss from atrophic macular degeneration in one eye were invited to attend an eye clinic every three months for a...
Findings In this diagnostic test accuracy study including 297 patients, none of the home-monitoring vision tests provided satisfactory diagnostic accuracy to identify active neovascular age-related macular degeneration diagnosed in follow-up clinics. Meaning None of the tests evaluated are ready for implem...
related macular degeneration (AMD)often do not know they have the disease during its early stages. They may dismiss early warning signs, like trouble seeing at night, as part of the normal aging process. Ignoring these symptoms only delays diagnosis, which may lead to more significant vision ...

The meaning of MACULAR DEGENERATION is progressive deterioration of the macula resulting in a gradual loss of the central part of the visual field; especially : age-related macular degeneration.
Background: In age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) trials, the FDA-approved endpoint is the loss (or gain) of at least three lines of vision as compared to baseline. The use of such a response endpoint entails a potentially severe loss of information. A more efficient strategy could be...
There is no known treatment for this form of macular degeneration, but vitamin supplementation may help to slow or prevent vision loss in some cases. Theoretically, it may help to reduce any risk factors one may have (listed above), but it has not been proven that this will help prevent ...
Macular degeneration is an eye disease usually associated with aging that gradually diminishes central vision. Detailed vision is processed by the macula, which is the central part of the retina.When the macula becomes damaged many daily activities such as driving and reading become increasingly diffic...
Due to the aging population, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is still one of the major causes of legal blindness among older people. Therefore, low vision treatment has an important role in the rehabilitation of the patients with central scotoma, which develops in the late stage of the...
