New eye imaging could reveal hidden clues to vision loss

This study explores whether combining three eye-imaging techniques can reveal how structural damage in the retina relates to vision loss in people with geographic atrophy, a form of age-related macular degeneration. Researchers will use OCT scans, ultra-high-resolution AOSLO imaging, and microperimetry to measure retinal sensitivity. The goal is to validate OCT-based measurements of photoreceptor damage by comparing them with direct visualization and functional tests. Ten participants from a larger study will undergo these imaging procedures to see if structural changes correlate with vision function.
