Brief summary
The aim of the present study is to investigate the reproducibility of the MP3 and to compare the results with conventional perimetry using the Octopus 101 in healthy subjects and patients with macular disease.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
for healthy subjects * Men and Women aged 18 and older * Written informed consent * Normal findings in the medical history unless the investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant * Normal ophthalmological findings unless the investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant Inclusion criteria for macular disease patients * Men and Women aged 18 and older * Written informed consent * Presence of a macular disease (such as dry or exudative age-related macular degeneration, diabetic maculopathy, epiretinal membrane) Any of the following will exclude a subject from the study: * Any opacities (corneal scar, dense cataract) which interferes with the study relevant measurements * Visual acuity \< 0.1 (Snellen)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Reproducibility of retinal sensitivity measurements using microperimetry | Two measurement within one week | Two study measurements are scheduled within one week. Test-retest reproducibility will be assessed for retinal sensitivity using the coefficient of repeatability and Bland-Altman diagrams. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Comparison of reproducibility of retinal sensitivity measurements assessed with microperimetry and conventional perimetry | Two measurement within one week | In addition to microperimetry conventional perimetry will be performed and reproducibility of both devices will be compared. |
