DISTORTION MAPS FROM PREFERENTIAL HYPERACUITY PERIMETRY ARE HELPFUL IN MONITORING FUNCTIONAL RESPONSE TO LUCENTIS THERAPY

Purpose: To use preferential hyperacuity perimetry to obtain a quantitative measure of central visual field distortion that would aid in the monitoring of functional responsiveness to ranibizumab treatment.
