5 Key Takeaways
-
1
Functional testing is essential in glaucoma care, providing insights beyond structural measures like optical coherence tomography (OCT).
-
2
In age-related macular degeneration (AMD), structural imaging is commonly used, but functional tests are often overlooked in diagnosis and management.
-
3
Contrast sensitivity (CS) testing reveals the visual system's response to light and contrast, aiding in AMD assessment and monitoring.
-
4
Dark adaptometry (DA) can identify subclinical disease and predict conversion to advanced AMD before structural changes occur.
-
5
Microperimetry helps assess fixation and central visual field defects, enhancing the understanding of AMD's functional progression.
