Correlation of macular sensitivity measures and visual acuity to vision-related quality of life in patients with age-related macular degeneration.

Macular sensitivity as measured using microperimetry correlates with vision-related quality of life in early AMD and in late AMD, showing it to be a patient-relevant outcome measure. Furthermore, the nasal sub-regions of the macula appear to be preferred retinal loci in patients with AMD. (338 words).
