Contrast Sensitivity in Early to Intermediate Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

Previous studies indicated that advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects contrast sensitivity (CS) in humans. The CS results for early/intermediate AMD patients are contradictory. The purpose of this study was to determine if CS testing discriminates early/intermediate AMD patients with normal acuity from normal patients.Forty-nine subjects (25 control and 24 early/intermediate AMD patients) were chosen for this project. The age...
