| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
M-CHARTS is an easy-to-use device for quantification of metamorphopsia. Metamorphopsia measured using the M-CHARTS can well reflect the subjective perception of metamorphopsia in patients with macular diseases.
To understand how metaphophosia is perceived in normal eyes, on the original M-CHARTS, we first inspected how much distortion presented by dots in a line was necessary for a normal eye to recognize the distortion. Using a high resolution monitor, we further devised a computer simulation to investigate the visual field representation of metamorphopsia. The results for the normal eyes showed that different metamorphopsia scores were obtained for different areas of the retina although the photoreceptors in the retina might have shown equivalent amount of distortion. Our finding can serve as the basic data when assessing metamorhposia for the visual field.
