Vukicevic, Meri; Le, Anh; Baglin, James – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2012
In the typical human visual system, the macula allows for high visual resolution. Damage to this area from diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), causes the loss of central vision in the form of a central scotoma. Since no treatment is available to reverse AMD, providing low vision rehabilitation to compensate for the loss of…
