Role of eccentric viewing training with microperimeter for low vision rehabilitation in multifocal choroiditis: Case report
A 21-year-old student with healed multifocal choroiditis involving the macula presented with difficulty in seeing distance and reading her college books. Based on microperimetr’y, the location of her preferred retinal locus and the position of new trained retinal locus (TRL) were identified. With mu...

| Sumario: | A 21-year-old student with healed multifocal choroiditis involving the macula presented with difficulty in seeing distance and reading her college books. Based on microperimetr’y, the location of her preferred retinal locus and the position of new trained retinal locus (TRL) were identified. With multiple sessions of biofeedback training, her mean retinal sensitivity improved from 4.8 to 8.8 dl, distance vision from 3/60 to 6/36, and near vision from N32 to N8 in the right eye. At 6-month follow-up, her TRL position and visual acuity were found to be stable. This case report highlights that eccentric viewing training using microperimeter can significantly improve the efficiency of functional vision in patients with choroiditis. |
