A computer-based method for evaluating the eye's ability to distinguish object details and shape in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) could provide a more accurate way to assess the effectiveness of eye surgery or vision rehabilitation interventions with devices and training, according to a Canadian study. The computer method could also vary low-, medium- and high-contrast illumination targets for testing spatial vision, which the authors say might be useful for early detection of AMD.
