Dark Adaptometry Kinetics Differentiates Age-Related Macular Degeneration from Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the diagnostic utility of dark adaptometry (DA) rod intercept time (RIT) to differentiate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) from central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

Design

Retrospective consecutive case series.

Participants

Consecutive patients with a clinical diagnosis of AMD or CSCR who were ≥50 years of age.

Methods

The study included patients who had completed a DA study in ≥1 eye measured at 5° superior to the fovea on the retina. All patients underwent a comprehensive retina examination, including OCT assessment of the macula.

Main outcome measures

Patients were classified based on their RIT, with an RIT >6.50 minutes considered a delay.

Results

The study included 67 patients with AMD and 25 with CSCR. Patients wi
