Relationship between refraction and prevalent as well as incident age-related maculopathy: the Rotterdam Study.
PURPOSE To study the relationship between baseline spherical equivalents (SphE) of refraction and prevalent as well as incident age-related maculopathy (pARM and iARM, respectively). METHODS The study was performed as part of the Rotterdam Study, a population-based, prospective cohort study. The SphE (in diopters), measured with autorefraction and subjective optimization, was recorded in 6209...

متن کاملMacular carotenoids and age-related maculopathy.
Lutein (L) and zeaxanthin (Z) are concentrated at the macula, where they are collectively known as macular pigment (MP), and where they are believed to play a major role in protecting retinal tissues against oxidative stress. Whilst the exact pathogenesis of age-related maculopathy (ARM) remains unknown, the disruption of cellular processes by oxidative stress may play an important role. Manipu...
متن کاملFace recognition in age-related maculopathy.
Patients with age-related maculopathy (ARM) complain frequently of difficulty with face recognition. The authors attempted to quantify the level of impairment by comparing face recognition with clinical tests of visual function, namely contrast sensitivity, grating acuity, letter-chart acuity, and word-reading acuity. For face recognition, we used 32 black-and-white photographs that had been cr...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Age-Related Maculopathy
Age-related maculopathy (ARM) is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly. Although beneficial therapeutic strategies have recently begun to emerge, much remains unclear regarding the etiopathogenesis of this disorder. Epidemiologic studies have enhanced our understanding of ARM, but the data, often conflicting, has led to difficulties with drawing firm conclusions with respect to risk for...
