Purpose: To assess the intrasession test-retest reliability of scotopic cyan and scotopic red fundus-controlled perimetry (FCP) in normal subjects using a modified MAIA "microperimeter" (macular integrity assessment) device.
Methods: Forty-seven normal eyes of 30 subjects (aged 33.8 years) underwent duplicate mesopic (achromatic stimuli, 400-800 nm), scotopic cyan (505 nm), and scotopic red (627 nm) FCP, using a grid of 49 stimuli over 14° of the central retina. Test-retest reliability for pointwise sensitivity (PWS), stability of fixation, reaction time and test duration were analyzed using mixed-effects models.
Results: PWS test-retest reliability was good among all 3 types of retinal sensitivity assessments (coefficient of repeatability of 4.75 dB for mesopic, 5.26 dB for scotopic cyan, and 4.06 dB for scotopic red testing). While the mean sensitivity decreased with eccentricity for both mesopic and scotopic red testing, it was highest at 7° eccentricity for the scotopic cyan assessment (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: The modified MAIA device allows for reliable scotopic FCP in normal subjects. Our findings suggest that testing of scotopic cyan sensitivity largely reflects rod function.

Drusen volume as clincial outcome measure in subjects with malattia leventinese.
Retina

Department of Ophthalmology, Institute of Clinical Neurosciences of Southern Switzerland (INS), Ospedale Regionale di Lugano, Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale (EOC), Lugano, Switzerland.
Purpose: To assess if drusen volume can serve as structural clinical outcome marker in Malattia Leventinese (ML), and to evaluate whether cones or rods are more affected by its progression, using multimodal imaging and mesopic and two-color scotopic microperimetry.
Methods: This was a prospective monocentric cross-sectional cohort study of participants with genetically confirmed ML. Participants were classified according to morphology.

Purpose: Choroideremia is an X-linked outer retinal degeneration. Early symptoms include nyctalopia and progressive visual field loss, but visual acuity is preserved until late disease stages. Dark-adapted two-color fundus-controlled perimetry (also known as scotopic microperimetry) has been developed to enable spatial assessment of rod and cone photoreceptor function.

Purpose: To evaluate the utility of three-dimensional hill of vision (HOV) analysis in assessing retinal sensitivity in patients with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) under scotopic cyan, scotopic red, and mesopic microperimetry conditions.
Methods: Baseline microperimetry data from 31 eyes of 16 patients with XLRP enrolled in the Horizon study were analyzed. HOVs were generated using thin plate spline interpolation.

Eye Clinic, Luigi Sacco Hospital, Department of Biomedical and Clinical Science, University of Milan, Milan, Italy.
Purpose: To describe novel microperimetry and imaging findings in two patients affected by extensive macular atrophy with pseudodrusen-like appearance without signs of retinal pigment epithelium atrophy.
Methods: Case series. Both patients underwent mesopic and dark-adapted two-color scotopic microperimetry, followed by multimodal imaging assessment including ultra-widefield photography, fundus autofluorescence, high-resolution optical coherence tomography, optical coherence tomography angiography, and high-magnification module.
Assessment of Scotopic Function in Rod-Cone Inherited Retinal Degeneration With the Scotopic Macular Integrity Assessment.

Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.
Purpose: The scotopic macular integrity assessment (S-MAIA) can perform scotopic assessment to detect localized changes to scotopic rod and cone function. This study is an exploratory investigation of the feasibility of using the S-MAIA in a rod-cone dystrophy population to identify the pattern of loss in scotopic photoreceptor function.
Methods: Twenty patients diagnosed with a rod-cone dystrophy underwent visual acuity testing, full-field stimulus threshold assessment, and multiple S-MAIA tests after dark adaptation periods of 20 minutes and 45 minutes performed separately.
