Abstract
Purpose: We determine the feasibility of using a home-based tablet device to monitor retinal sensitivity (RS) in intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD), the benefits of weekly reminders, and the comparison with clinic-based results. Methods: A customized test for tablets was designed to measure RS (within central 2°) in individuals with iAMD at weekly intervals in their home, with remote data collection. Half of the participants were randomized to receive weekly test reminders. Clinic-based microperimetric macular sensitivity results were compared to tablet results. Participation rates were analyzed at 2 months. Results: Of 38 participants (mean age, 70.3 years) with iAMD enrol..
