Microperimetry in monitoring of macular disease [ 2013 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Fred Chen (Principal investigator)

Brief description Microperimetry is a clinical tool for measuring central visual function whilst the retina is continuously monitored and retinal testing locus adjusted for eye movements. Regulatory authorities are now considering outcomes of microperimetry as a valid clinical trials endpoint in certain retinal conditions because visual acuity does not always reflect disease progression. This project will validate various types of microperimeters and determine how they should be used to monitor macular diseases.
