Investigation of Central Visual Fields in Patients with Age-Related Macular Changes
Atchison, David A., Lovie-Kitchin, Jan E., & Swann, Peter G. (1990) Investigation of Central Visual Fields in Patients with Age-Related Macular Changes. Optometry and Vision Science, 67(3), pp. 179-183.
Abstract
The effect of early macular pigmentary and drusen changes on the central visual field was investigated in elderly patients with normal visual acuities. Visual field measurements were taken with the Humphrey Field Analyser using its 24-2 and 10-2 full threshold programs. No significant differences were found between two patients groups, one with and one without the macular changes. We conclude that fine pigmentary changes and hard drusen do not cause changes in visual functioning and can be accepted as normal age-related changes.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
