Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Visual Science

Background:

Visual function is complex and standard visual acuity tests may not detect subtle changes in patients with retinal diseases.
Advancements in visual function assessment offer new methods for evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

To review additional visual function measurements beyond standard visual acuity.
To provide guidance on applying these measures in clinical practice and trials.

Main Methods:

International experts in retinal diseases reviewed literature.
Consensus recommendations were developed for applying new visual function measures.

Main Results:

Low-luminance visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, fixation, microperimetry, and reading performance can complement standard tests.
Measures like dark adaptation and color vision require further validation for clinical use.

Conclusions:

Additional visual function measurements aid in early diagnosis, disease progression detection, and timely therapeutic intervention.
New clinical trial endpoints are needed to fully understand macular disease progression and treatment response.
