  2. Macular degeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macular_degeneration

    Diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration depends on signs in the macula, not necessarily vision. Early diagnosis of AMD can prevent further visual deterioration and potentially improve vision. Diagnosis of dry (or early stage) AMD may include the following clinical examinations as well as procedures and tests:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_dystrophy

    Diagnosis The fundus exam via ophthalmoscopy is essentially normal early on in cone dystrophy, and definite macular changes usually occur well after visual loss. Fluorescein angiography (FA) is a useful adjunct in the workup of someone suspected to have cone dystrophy, as it may detect early changes in the retina that are too subtle to be seen ...

    It is unclear why RDS mutations affect only central vision in people with adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy. Diagnosis. Vitelliform macular dystrophy causes a fatty yellow pigment to build up in cells underlying the macula. The retinal pigment epithelium also degenerates.

  7. Epiretinal membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiretinal_membrane

    Diagnosis Epiretinal membrane is typically diagnosed by appearance with optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the macula. Features include a thickening of the nerve fiber layer, a serrated appearance to the surface of the retina just beneath a thickened layer of glial tissue at the retinal-vitreous interface.
