Abstract
Recently, the advancement in the technology of microperimetry devices has improved the capability to detect and understand visual function alterations. Furthermore, new software allow clinicians to precisely follow the evolution of the disease or the effect of different therapeutic choices or to perform visual rehabilitation for patients with low vision.
In this chapter, the technical features of two microperimeters, namely, MP-1 (Nidek, Gamagori, Japan) and MAIA (CenterVue, Padova, Italy), are illustrated, with some correlations with clinical practice.
