Macular function measured by Nidek MP-3 microperimeter in normal Chinese individuals across age groups.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Microperimetry has emerged as a tool for assessing retinal function, especially macular function in recent years. In this study, the MP-3, a widely adopted device, was employed to analyze macular sensitivity and fixation stability across various age groups.

Methods

The research involved evaluating the macular sensitivity and fixation stability of 182 healthy eyes free from ocular disorders. The relationship between macular sensitivity, fixation pattern, and age was determined through generalized estimating equations.

Results

Macular sensitivity and percentage of fixation stability within 2° and 4° were measured for 182 eyes (mean age: 45.24 ± 17.03 years) using MP-3. The mean macular sensitivity was 29.5 ± 1.6, while the mean percentage of fixation points w
