Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the short-term compliance with regular home monitoring of macular retinal sensitivity (RS) in intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD). Home-based outcomes were compared with in-clinic outcomes determined using (1) the same tablet device under supervision, and (2) the Macular Integrity Assessment (MaIA) microperimeter. Design: Single-center longitudinal compliance and reliability study. Methods: A total of 73 participants with iAMD were trained to perform macular field testing with the Melbourne Rapid Fields−macular (MRF-m) iPad application. Volunteers were asked to return 6 weekly tests from home, guided by audio instructions. We d..
