Objective
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disorder of high morbidity in Europe and will be an increasing problem in the next decades. The main objective of the proposal is the development of tools for testing and optimising macular function, which consider the disabilities caused by AMD, mainly disability of reading and motion control, in order to maintain or destitute these functions and therefore quality of life. These tools will provide a high sensitive monitoring of preventive and therapeutic measures (screening of early detection and assessing residual function). - These include psychophysical tests (e.g. contrast sensitivity, peritoneal letter recognition, figure/ground interaction, reading); eye movement recording with an eye tracker during fixation, reading, motion perception and exploration; assessment of fixation by Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO); objective measurements by multifocal ERG linked with SLO for fixation control. The project will provide new knowledge about macular function and disabilities in AMD, which will be used for training. A test set will be established for a European standard for clinical low vision examination.
