Abstract
Purpose:To evaluate the performance of microperimetry and low-luminance visual acuity for detecting late age-related macular degeneration (AMD) onset.Methods:Two hundred ninety-two individuals with bilateral large drusen in the Laser Intervention in the Early Stages of AMD study underwent best-corrected visual acuity, low-luminance visual acuity, and microperimetry testing as well as multimodal imaging to detect late (neovascular or atrophic) AMD onset. The performance of the change in the measurement from baseline of each of visual function test for detecting late AMD onset was compared.Results:The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for detecting neovascular and atrophic..
