Cross-sectional pupillographic evaluation of relative afferent pupillary defect in age-related macular degeneration
To evaluate, using pupillography, the difference between eyes affected by age-related macular degeneration and their contralateral normal eyes with regard to the mean relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) score. Also, to ascertain any correlations between this difference in RAPD score and differences in visual acuity or age-related macular degeneration (AMD) dimensions. Measurements were ma...
متن کاملPupillographic characteristics of simulated relative afferent pupillary defects.
Relative afferent pupillary defects were simulated in normal individuals by performing the alternating light test while dimming the light in front of one eye with neutral density filters. Pupillary responses were elicited using a binocular photostimulator and recorded using a binocular television pupillometer. In five subjects, four spatial variables of the pupillary response--contraction ampli...
متن کاملthe genetics of age-related macular degeneration
age-related macular degeneration (amd) is the leading cause of blindness in old subjects. it is a multifactorial disease with both environmental and genetic factors playing some role in its pathogenesis. similar to many other genetic diseases, the inheritance pattern of amd does not fit into simple mendelian rules. these diseases are caused by the presence of multiple genetic factors and are ca...
متن کاملMeasurement of Choroidal Neovascular Area in Age-Related Macular Degeneration using Modified Otsu’s Thresholding Method
Introduction: Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is one of the most important causes of irreversible blindness in the developed world and prevents the affected person from performing simple tasks such as reading, driving and facial recognition. In the AMD, new blood vessels grow underneath the retina in a process called choroidal neovascularisation (CNV). There ...
