Objective
Age related macular degeneration (AMD) and age related maculopathy (ARM) is a progressive eye disease that occurs most frequently among people over 65 years of age, and it is the most common cause of low vision in the western world. The disease has a major impact on the patients and on the society. It is the purpose of the proposed concerted action to elucidate the basic physiological processes involved in ARM/AMD. The participants will study the early changes in photoreceptor driven signals owing to ARM/AMD. This changes will be studies at different levels: the photoreceptor themselves, the retina, the visual cortex and at the perceptual level. It is anticipated that a better understanding of these processes will lead to improved clinical diagnosis and therapy of the patients.
