There is an urgent need for a more effective intervention to slow or prevent progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) from its early stages vision-threatening late complications. Subthreshold nanosecond laser (SNL) treatment has shown promise in preclinical studies and pilot study intermediate AMD (iAMD) as potential treatment. We aimed evaluate the safety SNL iAMD efficacy slowing AMD.The Laser Intervention Early Stages Age-Related Macular Degeneration (LEAD) 36-month,...
Clinical relevance Resilience is a key enabler for healthcare professionals including optometrists, to cope with adversities and practice self-care. Evaluating the levels of resilience its associated factors in optometry students can lead development appropriate intervention strategies academic professional success.
Purpose: Although impairment of rod function in the early stages age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has been well recognized, data on longitudinal changes at multiple retinal locations remain limited. This study investigated retinotopic eyes with intermediate AMD (iAMD). Methods: Complete ophthalmic examination, multimodal imaging, and scotopic perimetry were performed baseline 12-month follow-up. Perimetric sensitivities for 505-nm stimulus repeatedly measured 20 minutes after exposing...
<h3>Purpose</h3> There is evidence that people with glaucoma exhibit difficulties some complex visual tasks such as face recognition, motion perception and scene exploration. The purpose of this study was to determine whether affects the ability categorise briefly presented objects in central vision. <h3>Methods</h3> Visual categorisation performance 14 (primary open angle preperimetric) 15 age-matched controls measured, assessing both accuracy response times. Grey level photographs (size)...
Purpose.: The visual system rapidly adapts to contrast changes, often with each fixation. One key anatomical site underpinning adaptation is the retinal ganglion cell dendrites, where degenerative changes occur in glaucoma. This study investigated effects of early glaucoma and aging on rapid adaptation.
Clinical relevance Constant technological improvements require practitioners to be open adopting technologies such as telehealth for enhanced patient care. Understanding the barriers and facilitators of adoption will guide stakeholders in making decisions safe effective implementation telehealth.
Reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) is strongly associated with late age-related macular degeneration (AMD) but their aetiology remains unknown. RPD have been reduced choroidal thickness (ChT) most studies are limited by small sample size and varying severity of AMD.To investigate the relationship between in eyes intermediate AMD (iAMD), controlling for variables known to influence ChT.Retrospective cohort study.Participants were recruited from Centre Eye Research Australia.Colour fundus...
PURPOSE.Aging and glaucoma both result in contrast processing deficits.However, it is unclear the extent to which these functional deficits arise from retinal or post-retinal neuronal changes.This study aims disentangle effects of healthy human aging on using visual electrophysiology.METHODS.Steady-state pattern electroretinograms (PERG) evoked potentials (PVEP) were simultaneously recorded across a range contrasts (0%, 4%, 9%, 18%, 39%, 73%, 97%; 0.88 diameter checks, 318 checkerboard) 13...
