RECRUITING

AMD and Validation Rod-Meditated Dark Adaptation With Everyday Task Performance

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal is to conduct a cross-sectional, single timepoint study on older adults with early and intermediate AMD, and with subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD), and those in normal health, establishing an association between dark adaptation and reading performance under dim illumination, both which depend on rod photoreceptors.

Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:Yes
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Capable and willing to provide consent
  2. * Has been diagnosed with early, intermediate dry age-related macular degeneration or geographic atrophy or has a healthy macular for controls
  3. * At least 50 years of age
  1. * Unable or unwilling to give consent or unable to read consent since the study involves testing which requires reading
  2. * Under 50 years of age
  3. * Presence of dense cataracts in the study eye (s) that can affect visual function tests
  4. * Presence of glaucoma requiring treatment during the study and/or visual field defects
  5. * Previous retinal laser or surgical therapy in the study eye(s)
  6. * Previous retinal laser or surgical therapy in the study eye(s)
  7. * Any other ocular condition requiring long-term therapy or surgery during the study
  8. * The participant has photographically significant corneal or media opacities in either eye that would preclude adequate ophthalmic imaging and functional testing
  9. * Diagnosis of nystagmus that will interfere with testing
  10. * High myopia -8 Diopters or more severe
  11. * The participant has, in the opinion of the Investigator, any physical or mental condition that would increase the risk of participation in the study or may interfere with the study procedures, evaluations, and outcome assessments.
