Multimodal evaluation of visual function in geographic atrophy vs normal eyes
Clinical Ophthalmology Jun 27, 2020
Burguera-Giménez N, García-Lázaro S, España-Gregori E, et al. - Researchers conducted this observational study to comprehensively assess visual function in eyes with geographic atrophy (GA) as compared to normal eyes. Sixty-three eyes from 63 patients ≥ 50 years old (31 were identified as normal macular health eyes and 32 with GA) were selected. In patients with GA, the decreased visual function is reflected in poor quality of life. Reading speed, contrast sensitivity, fixation, and macular sensitivity are strongly linked to vision-related quality of life. The findings show the significance of letter-size reading in patients with GA. Microperimetry and speed reading are useful tools for better assessment of visual impairment in GA patients.
