Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Assessment of retinal sensitivity using microperimetry 2. Serum L and Z (including MZ) concentrations as measured by high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC] 3. Comparison of MP optical density values measured using the validated gold standard customised HFP device (Densitometer™) to MP optical density values obtained using a MP screening device (MacuScope™) Primary and secondary outcome measures will be carried out at baseline, three, six and nine months.

Primary

MeasureTime frame
MP optical density (including its entire spatial profile), as measured by heterochromatic flicker photometry [HFP]. Primary and secondary outcome measures will be carried out at baseline, three, six and nine months.
