Additionally, CNVMs cross Bruch's membrane and infiltrate the retina, causing direct damage and scar tissue formation. The effectiveness of TAAC is being evaluated in a laser-induced rat model for CNVM development and in clinical patient trials. Present work and future directions for research will be discussed. Performance in actual and virtual environments is comparable, but the instability is greater in the virtual environment. We provide evidence that this is due to a decoupling of accommodation and vergence.
Calibration is required for stable and accurate performance in both environments.
We explore the effectiveness and stability of calibration when people use visual or haptic feedback. We wanted to probe the accuracy of the system if the lenses were visible to the system or test the possibility of making measurements of thickness under a lens if the contact lenses were invisible to the system. Pachometry was measured with no lens and with the two lenses in place after about 15 minutes adaptation. Three repeat measures were made on each condition for each subject. The results varied in the periphery but were very similar in the central cornea.
