MP3 (Microperimeter 3) Reproducibility in Healthy Subjects and Macular Patients

Reproducibility of Microperimetry Using Nidek MP3 (Microperimeter 3) in Healthy Subjects and Patients With Macular Disease - Pilot Study

The aim of the present study is to investigate the reproducibility of the MP3 and to compare the results with conventional perimetry using the Octopus 101 in healthy subjects and patients with macular disease.

Inclusion criteria for healthy subjects

• Men and Women aged 18 and older
• Written informed consent
• Normal findings in the medical history unless the investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant
• Normal ophthalmological findings unless the investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant

Inclusion criteria for macular disease patients

• Men and Women aged 18 and older
• Written informed consent
• Presence of a macular disease (such as dry or exudative age-related macular degeneration, diabetic maculopathy, epiretinal membrane)

Any of the following will exclude a subject from the study:

• Any opacities (corneal scar, dense cataract) which interferes with the study relevant measurements
• Visual acuity < 0.1 (Snellen)
