Objective Patients with central vision loss develop preferred retinal loci (PRLs) in the
eccentric retina. The characteristics of the PRLs for the better eye (BE) are well studied, but …

Objective: Preferred retinal locus (PRL) training has been applied to low-vision rehabilitation
for patients with central vision loss (CVL). This study aimed to explore the characteristics of a …

Purpose: Following the onset of central vision loss, most patients develop a retinal location
outside the central scotoma, the preferred retinal locus (PRL), as the new reference for …

Purpose: The authors identified patterns in preferred retinal locus (PRL) ability and location
relative to macular scotomas in a low-vision patient population. Methods: Scanning laser …

Purpose: An evaluation of the preferred retinal locus (PRL) in patients with age-related
macular degeneration and a central scotoma is becoming a standard of care in the practice …

Most patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and bilateral central scotomas
adopt a preferred retinal locus (PRL) for eccentric viewing. It is postulated that the optimal …

Background Whether prism, especially base‐up prism, affects the area of the retina used for
fixation in a patient with central scotoma has been a controversial subject for 35 years. Our …

Age-related maculopathy is the leading cause of vision loss among adults in developed
countries, and its prevalence is expected to double over the next decade (Congdon et al …

Patients with central scotoma use a preferred retinal locus (PRL) of fixation to perform visual
tasks. Some of the conditions that cause central scotoma are progressive, and as a …

Objective: Adaptive strategies in low-vision patients with age-related macular degeneration
use preferred retinal loci (PRLs) for the purpose of achieving better visual function. In the …
