Summary

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in industrialized countries and affects tens of millions of people worldwide, with a rapidly increasing prevalence. It causes irreversible central vision loss and significant difficulties in daily activities, impairing patients' quality of life and independence. Conventional clinical assessments, which focus on visual acuity and retinal imaging, do not fully reflect the functional impact of the disease. Virtual reality (VR) makes it possible to create immersive, controlled environments to accurately measure functional vision and simulate real-life situations. The study proposes to develop a standardized and reproducible functional test in virtual reality that can complement conventional examinations and support clinical and industrial research.

Conditions

• Dry AMD
• Geographic Atrophy
• Healhty

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Object recognition and selection task	The Sight Performance Object Task (SPOT) is a virtual reality (VR) based assessment designed to measure the object recognition and selection capabilities. It functional vision by replicating the real-world challenge of "finding things" under controlled environmental conditions.
