It is a diagnostic tool that aids in the detection of visual disturbances caused by changes in the retina, particularly the macula (e.g. macular degeneration, Epiretinal membrane), as well as the optic nerve and the visual pathway to the brain.
Metamorphopsia can be a symptom of a number of eye disorders involving the retina or macula. Some of these conditions include the following: Age-related macular degeneration; Epiretinal membrane and vitreomacular traction; Posterior vitreous detachment; Macular hole; Diagnosis
The prism cover test (PCT) is an objective measurement and the gold standard in measuring strabismus, i.e. ocular misalignment, or a deviation of the eye. It is used by ophthalmologists and orthoptists in order to measure the vertical and horizontal deviation and includes both manifest and latent components. [1]

This has allowed OCTA to obtain detailed images of retinal vasculature in the human retina and become widely used clinically to diagnose a variety of eye diseases, such as age related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), artery and vein occlusions, and glaucoma.
The severity of the disease is inversely proportional to ABCA4 function and it is thought that ABCA4 related disease has a role to play in other diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa, cone-rod dystrophies and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
