Association of Visual Function Measures with Drusen Volume in Early Stages of Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess which visual function measures are most strongly associated with overall retinal drusen volume in age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Methods

A total of 100 eyes (16 eyes with early AMD, 62 eyes with intermediate AMD, and 22 eyes from healthy controls) were recruited in this cross-sectional study. All subjects underwent several functional assessments: best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), low-luminance visual acuity (LLVA), visual acuity (VA) measured with the Moorfields Acuity Chart (MAC-VA), contrast sensitivity with the Pelli-Robson test, reading speed using the International Reading Speed texts, and mesopic and dark-adapted microperimetry. Drusen volume was automatically determined based on optical coherence tomography using an approach based on conv
