A short-duration dark adaptation protocol for assessment of age-related maculopathy

Dark adaptometry may be a useful diagnostic test and clinical trial endpoint for age-related maculopathy (ARM) because impaired night vision is a hallmark of early ARM. A novel dark adaptometer, the AdaptDx, was evaluated for the detection of ARM. The AdaptDx incorporates a 20-minute protocol optimi...

description Dark adaptometry may be a useful diagnostic test and clinical trial endpoint for age-related maculopathy (ARM) because impaired night vision is a hallmark of early ARM. A novel dark adaptometer, the AdaptDx, was evaluated for the detection of ARM. The AdaptDx incorporates a 20-minute protocol optimized for the detection of ARM. ARM patients (N = 17) exhibited substantial dark adaptation impairment compared with normal adults (N = 17). The diagnostic sensitivity was 88% and the specificity was 100%. The diagnostic test characteristics of the AdaptDx are similar to previously reported studies using 60- to 120-minute protocols.
