PURPOSE: To study fixation patterns and reading rates in eyes with central scotomas from geographic atrophy (GA) of age-related macular degeneration and to compare fixation patterns with those of patients with Stargardt disease.
METHODS: Scanning laser ophthalmoscope analysis of fixation patterns in eyes with 20/80 to 20/200 visual acuity. Included were 41 eyes of 35 patients with GA and 10 eyes of 5 patients with Stargardt disease. The patients with GA also were tested for maximum ...

Enlargement of atrophy and visual acuity loss in the geographic atrophy form of age-related macular degeneration
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVE: To describe the progression of geographic atrophy (GA) from age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with respect to visual acuity (VA) loss and enlargement of atrophy.
DESIGN: A prospectively observed case series.
SETTING: Tertiary retinal referral center.
PARTICIPANTS: One hundred twenty-three patients with GA due to AMD who completed at least 1 year of follow-up (median follow-up, 3 years) were examined annually.
METHODS: At each examination, a protocol best-corrected VA of ...

PURPOSE: To describe, in a group of patients with moderately advanced retinitis pigmentosa (RP), the prevalence of cystoid macular edema (CME), the variation in foveal thickness over a 48-week period, the correlation of visual acuity (VA) with retinal thickness, and the lack of response of CME to lutein administration.
METHODS: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the macula and clinical examination were evaluated for 77 eyes of 39 patients with RP over 11 months, with a scan ...

PURPOSE: To describe the design and baseline characteristics of patients enrolled into 2 natural history studies of Stargardt disease (STGD1).
DESIGN: Multicenter retrospective and prospective cohort studies.
PARTICIPANTS: Three hundred sixty-five unique patients aged 6 years and older at baseline harboring disease-causing variants in the ABCA4 gene and with specified ocular lesions were enrolled from 9 centers in the United States and Europe.
METHODS: In the retrospective study, ...

Importance: New outcome measures for treatment trials for Stargardt disease type 1 (STGD1) and other macular diseases are needed. Microperimetry allows mapping of light sensitivity of the macula and provides topographic information on visual function beyond visual acuity.
Objective: To measure and analyze retinal light sensitivity of the macula in STGD1 using fundus-controlled perimetry (microperimetry).
Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a multicenter prospective cohort study. ...

Visual Function Abnormalities and Prognosis in Eyes with Age-related Geographic Atrophy of the Macula and Good Visual Acuity
[ PUBLICATION ]
PURPOSE: Geographic atrophy (GA) may cause significant compromise of visual function, even when there still is good visual acuity (VA), because of parafoveal scotomas and foveal function abnormalities antedating visible atrophy. This study evaluates the visual function abnormalities at baseline and the 2-year worsening of VA and reading rate for eyes with GA compared with a group of eyes with drusen only.
METHODS: Seventy-four eyes with GA and VA greater than or equal to 20/50 from a ...

Patient selection for macular translocation surgery using the scanning laser ophthalmoscope
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the use of the scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) as a predictor for potential visual improvement in eyes with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) undergoing limited macular translocation.
DESIGN: Retrospective noncomparative case series.
PARTICIPANTS: Consecutive series of 71 eyes of 70 patients with subfoveal CNV secondary to AMD that underwent effective and uncomplicated limited macular translocation ...

OBJECTIVE: To show that low luminance visual dysfunction is predictive of subsequent visual acuity (VA) loss in eyes with geographic atrophy (GA) resulting from age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
DESIGN: Cohort study examining the prospective natural history study of GA from 1992 through 2000 at the Wilmer Eye Institute.
PARTICIPANTS: Ninety-one participants with GA resulting from AMD without choroidal neovascularization in at least 1 eye who completed a 2-year study ...

PURPOSE: To study whether fixation patterns changed over time in patients with central scotomas from geographic atrophy from age-related macular degeneration.
DESIGN: Prospective cohort study.
METHODS: setting: Institutional. patient or study population: Prospective natural history study of geographic atrophy included 34 eyes of 25 patients with baseline acuity between 20/80 and 20/200 and with subsequent follow-up. observation procedures: Baseline and annual follow-up visits included ...

Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopic Analysis of the Pattern of Visual Loss in Age-related Geographic Atrophy of the Macula
[ PUBLICATION ]
PURPOSE: We explored the clinical impression that geographic atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, a form of advanced age-related macular degeneration, is perceived by the patient as progressing gradually, even when fixation switches from foveal to extrafoveal.
METHODS: We analyzed the responses of 60 patients with geographic atrophy to a questionnaire administered as part of a five-year study of the natural course of geographic atrophy, funded by the National Eye Institute. We ...

Baseline Traits of Low Vision Patients Served by Private Outpatient Clinical Centers in the United States
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the traits of low vision patients who seek outpatient low vision rehabilitation (LVR) services in the United States.
METHODS: In a prospective observational study, we enrolled 764 new low vision patients seeking outpatient LVR services from 28 clinical centers in the United States. Before their initial appointment, multiple questionnaires assessing daily living and vision, physical, psychological, and cognitive health states were administered by telephone. ...

BACKGROUND: Age-related macular degeneration is the most common cause of irreversible visual impairment in the developed world. Advanced age-related macular degeneration consists of geographic atrophy and choroidal neovascularization. The specific genetic variants that predispose patients to geographic atrophy are largely unknown.
METHODS: We tested for an association between the functional toll-like receptor 3 gene (TLR3) variant rs3775291 (involving the substitution of phenylalanine ...
