THE NOVEL ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR EARLY DETECTION OF AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION

Abstract

The article provides a description of a developed method for early diagnosis of dry age-related macular degeneration in the form of a device for assessing contrast sensitivity and conducting the Amsler test. The device is designed as portable VR glasses and a joystick. The article presents the technical parameters of the device and the principle of its operation. The panel displayed during patient examinations is shown. The presented device is intended for use both in outpatient healthcare settings and for self-assessment of contrast sensitivity by patients, serving as an effective means for the early diagnosis of dry age-related macular degeneration.
