Purpose: To determine and compare the intersession test-retest variability of different microperimetric parameters in healthy volunteers and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients by MAIA microperimetry.
Methods: Twenty-four eyes of 12 healthy volunteers and 22 eyes of 11 AMD patients were included in this study. Microperimetry examinations were performed three times on each eye of all participants by MAIA microperimetry (CenterVue, Padova, Italy). The second measurement was performed on the same day and the third measurement one week after the first test. Retinal light sensitivity, stability of fixation, and macular integrity were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed by Microsoft Excel software and StatSoft Statistica software.
Results: During the examinations, the average threshold had not change.. View More»
