Abstract EN
Aim.
To detect abnormality of the visual function in naïve patients with cystoid diabetic macular edema (DME) using M-charts, Amsler test, and white on white (W/W) and blue on yellow (B/Y) perimetry.
Methods.
There were 64 eyes included in the study: 30 eyes with DME, 22 eyes with diabetes without DME, and 12 eyes of normal subjects.
Conventional W/W perimetry and B/Y perimetry were performed within the central 10° of the visual field.
To assess metamorphopsia, Amsler test and M-charts were used.
Results.
The rate of detection of metamorphopsia was 37% with Amsler test examination and 50% with M-charts.
Specificity of both tests was 100%.
We found a significant difference between vertical scores of M-charts in all groups, but not in horizontal scores (p<0.0001).
Mean defect (MD) was 8.9 dB and 3.6 dB and loss variance (LV) 4.8 dB and 3.3 dB (p<0.0001).
Conclusions.
M-chart is more sensitive than Amsler test method for detection of metamorphopsia.
The MD and LV are higher in b/y in comparison to W/W perimetry.
B/Y perimetry and M-charts are more sensitive than conventional methods for detecting the visual function loss in cystoid DME.
