Filter by:Group 4a and 4b was an FDA trial that showed that patients who have an Amsler grid abnormality on paper, have a similar abnormality on the app. Group 7a and 7b was an FDA trial that showed that normal patients do not have false positives on the Amsler app as well as on the Amsler paper version. Further Vision on the app is slightly better than vision on the standard Sloan near card using a formula (vision is 7/10th of a line better on the app).
1. To evaluate the accuracy of virtual visual field (VVF) headsets equipped the standard visual field software in its ability to assess visual function in various retinal, glaucoma and neuro-ophthalmic disorders by comparing retinal fundus and optic nerve images, optical coherence tomography and neuroimages to the VVF produced. 2. To test the null hypothesis that VVF testing compares favorably to the gold standard, Humphrey visual field (HVF) by comparing testing time, mean sensitivity, markers of reliability including false positives and negatives and fixation losses and global indices such as mean deviation and pattern standard deviation.
In this study, we will use behavioral methods to investigate several types of interactions that occur when visual stimuli conflict, such as when objects are presented nearby to each other, or to separate eyes. We will target purely sensory aspects by using simple geometric shapes: letters and lines. Our outcome measure will be performance thresholds.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand the impact of visual impairment caused by different eye diseases on the ability to perform daily activities and compare it to that in patients without eye diseases.
In the management of glaucoma, as for as in other optic nerve diseases, an important goal of ophthalmologists is represented by the possibility of influencing visual function. In this regard, Parisi et al [Ophthalmology 1999; 106:1126-1134.] suggested the intramuscular treatment with Cytidine-5-diphosphocholine (CDP-Choline or citicoline) to improve glaucomatous visual defects. In particular, recent studies reported the effects of citicoline on glaucomatous retinal and postretinal visual structures evaluated by electrophysiological examinations (PERG and VEP). It was observed that a 2-month period of treatment with citicoline may induce improvement in both ganglion cell function (PERGs with increase in amplitudes and shortening in times-to-peak) and in neural conduction along postretinal visual pathways (VEPs with increase in amplitudes and shortening in times-to-peak). The effects of citicoline on glaucomatous retinal and postretinal structures were not present 8 months after the end of treatment. However, performing several 2-month period of treatment with citicoline during a total period of 8 years, it was found a additional improvement of the glaucomatous retinal and postretinal impairment [Parisi V. Doc Ophthalmol. 2005 Jan;110:91-102). In this work, the investigators aimed to assess whether there similar visual function outcomes can be reached by the oral treatment with citicoline in patients affected by glaucomatous optic nerve disease as of as in other optic nerve diseases (i.e. non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy)
