    This has allowed OCTA to obtain detailed images of retinal vasculature in the human retina and become widely used clinically to diagnose a variety of eye diseases, such as age related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), artery and vein occlusions, and glaucoma.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photostress_test

    Purpose. can differentiate between retinal and post retinal disease. Photostress recovery time ( PSRT) is the time taken for visual acuity to return to normal levels after the retina has been bleached by a bright light source. Photostress recovery time measurement procedure is known as photostress test. Normal recovery time is about 15–30 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macular_degeneration

    Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD), is a medical condition which may result in blurred or no vision in the center of the visual field. Early on there are often no symptoms. Over time, however, some people experience a gradual worsening of vision that may affect one or both eyes.

    Optical coherence tomography. A high-resolution spectral-domain OCT scan (3×3 mm) of a dry age-related macular degeneration eye showing geographic atrophy and drusen in macula on both cross-sectional and en face fly-through. Optical coherence tomography ( OCT) is an imaging technique that uses interferometry with short- coherence-length light ...

  6. Micropsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropsia

    Micropsia is a condition affecting human visual perception in which objects are perceived to be smaller than they actually are. Micropsia can be caused by optical factors (such as wearing glasses), by distortion of images in the eye (such as optically, via swelling of the cornea or from changes in the shape of the retina such as from retinal edema, macular degeneration, or central serous ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamorphopsia

    Metamorphopsia (from Greek: μεταμορφοψία, metamorphopsia, 'seeing mutated shapes') is a type of distorted vision in which a grid of straight lines appears wavy and parts of the grid may appear blank. People can first notice they suffer with the condition when looking at mini-blinds in their home. For example, straight lines might be ...

    Stargardt disease is the most common inherited single-gene retinal disease. [1] In terms of the first description of the disease, [2] it follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, which has been later linked to bi-allelic ABCA4 gene variants (STGD1).
