Purpose The vulnerability of rod photoreceptors in aging and early and intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has been well documented. Rod-mediated dark adaptation (RMDA) is a measure of the recovery of light sensitivity in rod photoreceptors following a bright light. Delays in RMDA during early and intermediate AMD have been widely reported. For RMDA's promise as an outcome for trials targeted at early and intermediate AMD to be realized, excellent test-retest reliability, its repeatability, must be established.
