AbstractAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive and degenerative disorder of the macula. In advanced stages, it is characterized by the formation of areas of geographic atrophy or fibrous scars in the central macula, which determines irreversible loss of central vision. These patients can benefit from visual rehabilitation programmes with acoustic “biofeedback” mechanisms that can instruct the patient to move fixation from the central degenerated macular area to an adjacent healthy area, with a reorganization of the primary visual cortex. In this prospective, comparative, non-randomized study we evaluated the efficacy of visual rehabilitation with an innovative acoustic biofeedback training system based on visual evoked potentials (VEP) real-time examination (Retimax Vision Trainer, CSO, Florence), in a series of patients with advanced AMD compared to a control group. Patients undergoing training were subjected to ten consecutive visual training sessions of 10 min each, performed twice a week. Patients in the control group did not receive any training. VEP biofeedback rehabilitation seems to improve visual acuity, reading performances, contrast sensitivity, retinal fixation and sensitivity and quality of life in AMD patients.

AbstractDelayed Dark Adapted vision Recovery (DAR) is a biomarker for Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD); however, its measurement is burdensome for patients and examiners. We developed a portable, wireless, quick-setup system that employs a headset with a smartphone to deliver and analyze controlled dichoptic photobleach and pattern reversal stimuli, and with custom electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes, to measure objective Dark Adapted Visual Evoked Potentials (DAVEP) at multiple locations of the visual field in one comfortable 20-minute session, without requiring subject reporting. DAVEP responses post photobleach (up to 15 minutes), were measured concurrently in both eyes of 13 patients with AMD and 8 others not diagnosed with AMD. New unexpected features were observed in the DAVEP responses at high latencies to scotopic stimulus intensities. The amplitude recovery of the DAVEP response was significantly delayed in AMD patients compared with controls. We developed DAVEP1 scores, a simple metric for DAR, using it to successfully identify all 100% of AMD subjects and correctly classify 90% of subject eyes. Deficits in DAR in patients with AMD can be identified with this objective VEP based system using the DAVEP1 metric, a promising new objective biomarker for this disease that can be easily tested in a clinic.

Recent advances in retinal imaging have improved the evaluation and prognostication of age-related macular degeneration. The development and modification of the scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) has played a pivotal role in our understanding of the disease. SLO has led to improved methods of visualising characteristics of the disease, such as drusen and alterations in autofluorescence, and also provided a platform for the quantification of structural and functional changes occurring as a result of the disease process. This article provides a review of the current literature on the impact and clinical utility of SLO devices for infrared viewing, fundus autofluorescence, microperimetry, and as integraded multimodal imaging systems such as optical coherence tomography and SLO.
