Abstract
Recent advances of computerized graphical methods have received significant attention for detection and home monitoring of various visual distortions caused by macular disorders such as macular edema, central serous chorioretinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. After a brief review of macular disorders and their conventional diagnostic methods, this paper reviews such graphical interface methods including computerized Amsler Grid, Preferential Hyperacuity Perimeter, and Three-dimensional Computer-automated Threshold Amsler Grid. Thereafter, the challenges of these computerized methods for accurate and rapid detection of macular disorders are discussed. The early detection and progress assessment of macular disorders can significantly enhance the required clinical procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of macular disorders.
Highlights
Macular disorders such as myopic maculopathy, macular holes, diabetic macular edema, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and central serous retinopathy (CSR) cause visual distortion (VD) in their early stages [1,2]
The macular disorders severely affect the quality of life and raise the direct and indirect medical management cost of macular disorders [6]
Detection of macular disorders is crucial as close monitoring allows for intervention before irreversible damage occurs
Summary
Macular disorders such as myopic maculopathy, macular holes, diabetic macular edema, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and central serous retinopathy (CSR) cause visual distortion (VD) in their early stages [1,2]. In their advanced phases, macular disorders cause central vision loss. OCT is a high-resolution technique intended to show any deformation in the cross-section of the retina, OCT is not a low-cost method and only an expert can use it It cannot serve as a realistic choice for home-monitoring purposes. Computerized graphical interface (CGI) methods have recently attracted eye care professionals’ attention as a low cost, home-use method for rapid detection of damage in the visual field as well as monitoring the progress of macular disorders
