Abstract:

High prevalence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) among older adults and treatment difficulties at later stages make early diagnosis and disease monitoring an actual problem of ophthalmology. Although methods for identification of gene-positive groups are now available, genetic studies are not sufficiently widespread in our country to ensure screening for AMD risk. In this regard there remains a need to determine the earliest objective sings of the degenerative process and progression criteria. This paper reviews anatomically oriented functional methods of retinal examination at the onset of AMD and later in the course of the disease. Analysis of collected material will provide systematic understanding of current possibilities for early diagnosis and functional monitoring of AMD patients prior to the decrease of their visual acuity.
