New eye test could spot Blindness-Causing diseases years earlier

This study is testing a special eye test called microperimetry to see if it can detect early signs of dry age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Researchers will measure how sensitive the central retina is to light and compare it with standard scans. The goal is to find changes before vision loss occurs, which could lead to better monitoring and future treatments. The study involves 200 participants, including healthy volunteers, and follows them for up to a year.
