Correlation Between OCT and Mf-ERG Findings With BCVA in Patients With Macular Dystrophy

Correlation Between Optical Coherence Tomography and Multifocal Electroretinogram Findings With Visual Acuity in Patients With Macular Dystrophy

Correlation between optical coherence tomography and multifocal electroretinogram findings with visual acuity in patients with macular dystrophy.

Macular dystrophies cause progressive central vision loss, but the relationship between structural retinal changes (OCT) and functional deficits (mf-ERG) with visual outcomes remains poorly understood. Current clinical assessment relies primarily on visual acuity, which inadequately reflects retinal damage or predicts disease progression. This knowledge gap limits prognostic accuracy and optimal patient management. Recent advances in OCT and mf-ERG technology provide an opportunity to establish robust structure-function correlations. Understanding these relationships will enhance patient care through improved prognosis, standardized monitoring protocols, and better clinical trial outcome measures for macular dystrophy patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All patients diagnosed with macular dystrophy in Tiba Eye Centre, Egypt, Assiut, during the period of the study

Exclusion Criteria:

• The patients diagnosed with macular dystrophy refuse to contribute to the study.
