FUNCTIONAL AND MORPHOLOGIC BENEFITS IN EARLY DETECTION OF NEOVASCULAR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION USING THE PREFERENTIAL HYPERACUITY PERIMETER

Abstract

Preferential hyperacuity perimetry detected abnormalities in central visual function with high reliability. Eyes with nvAMD lesions detected by PHP had smaller lesions and better function when compared with the group before the introduction of PHP. The false-negative rate was <10% on PHP. The PHP distortion map was helpful in alerting clinicians to the presence of subclinical nvAMD.
