Visual Acuity Provides a More Meaningful Measure of Vision-Related Functioning Than Mesopic Microperimetry in Age-Related Macular Degeneration Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study

Key Points

• To determine which measure, visual acuity or mesopic microperimetry, better reflects daily vision-related functioning in patients with age-related macular degeneration.
• Conducted a cross-sectional study with age-related macular degeneration patients.
• Measured visual acuity and mesopic microperimetry outcomes.
• Assessed relationship between these measures and daily vision-related functioning.
• Visual acuity showed a stronger correlation with daily functioning than mesopic microperimetry.
• Patients with better visual acuity reported improved vision-related quality of life.
• Mesopic microperimetry provided less meaningful insights compared to visual acuity.
