| description | Visual acuity is still considered the gold standard in clinical practice of vision testing, but it does not entirely reflect functional vision.
Therefore, we need other functional tests to perform more detailed assessment of macular function in retinal diseases. A test of visual
function which may help to better understand the characteristics of visual loss in retinal diseases could be microperimetry. With
microperimetry, retinal fixation and macular sensitivity may be accurately tested, with strict correspondence between visual parameters
and macular morphology. In this paper, we review the literature regarding the results of microperimetry. Results on known diseases and
reproducibility of the technique were published, but a lot of research was also performed on the combination of different examination
methods. (Turk J Oph thal mol 2011; 41: 401-6) |
