Summary
This study tests whether measuring how quickly your eyes adjust to the dark can serve as an early sign that high-dose atorvastatin is working for intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD). About 21 participants will take the statin and undergo regular dark adaptation tests and eye scans. The goal is to see if faster dark adaptation matches up with reduced drusen deposits, without directly aiming to cure or control the disease long-term.
