Visual Acuity Is Not the Best at the Preferred Retinal Locus in People with Macular Disease. [PDF]
Optom Vis Sci, 2018 Significance Little is known about how the preferred retinal locus (PRL) develops in patients with macular disease. We found that acuity is worse at the PRL than at other retinal locations around the scotoma, suggesting that the selection of the PRL ...

Orientation of the preferred retinal locus (PRL) is maintained following changes in simulated scotoma size. [PDF]
J Vis, 2020 Although macular lesions often enlarge, we know little about what happens when the preferred retinal locus (PRL) is enveloped by the lesion. We present a prospective study of subjects with normal vision who were trained to develop a PRL using simulated ...

Characteristics of Preferred Retinal Locus in Eyes with Central Vision Loss Secondary to Different Macular Lesions [PDF]
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2021 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 natural PRL in eyes with different macular lesions. The data

Driving with Central Visual Field Loss II: How Scotomas above or below the Preferred Retinal Locus (PRL) Affect Hazard Detection in a Driving Simulator. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We determined whether binocular central scotomas above or below the preferred retinal locus affect detection of hazards (pedestrians) approaching from the side. Seven participants with central field loss (CFL), and seven age-and sex-matched controls with

Decreased fixation stability of the preferred retinal location in juvenile macular degeneration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Macular degeneration is the main cause for diminished visual acuity in the elderly. The juvenile form of macular degeneration has equally detrimental consequences on foveal vision.

An Overview of Preferred Retinal Locus and Its Application in Biofeedback Training for Low-Vision Rehabilitation [PDF]
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2021 Central vision loss (CVL) caused by macular damage generally disables common daily tasks, which cannot be reversed by present treatments. Fortunately, it has been found that biofeedback training by inducing or reinforcing preferred retinal locus (PRL) as

Preferred retinal locus in macular disease: characteristics and clinical implications. [PDF]
Retina, 2008 To investigate the location and fixation stability of preferred retinal locations (PRLs) in patients with macular disease, and the relationship among areas of abnormal fundus autofluorescence, the PRL and visual sensitivity.Fifteen patients (15 eyes) were studied. Seven had Stargardt disease, 1 bull's eye maculopathy, 5 age-related macular degeneration,

Changes in the Properties of the Preferred Retinal Locus with Eccentric Viewing Training.
Optometry and Vision Science, 2019 SIGNIFICANCE This study explores whether eccentric viewing training (EVT) changes the properties of the retinal area used for fixation in subjects with bilateral macular disease.
