Abstract

The results of comparative study of efficacy and safety of vision correcting system "Focus" and Picamilon in patients with dry form of age macular degeneration are presented. 60 patients were enrolled into the study, follow-up was 3 months. Routine examination revealed positive impact of "Focus" on dynamics of main visual functions (visual acuity and field). In terms of impact on dynamics of main visual functions "Focus" is comparable with Picamilon, though it is better tolerated. Intake of vision correcting system "Focus" promotes visual functions improvement and prevents progressing of retinal degenerations.
