Telescopic scanning and age-related maculopathy.
We report the management of various aspects of the care provided over a span of 12 years for a patient with age-related maculopathy (ARM). The use of a low-power telescope proved to be particularly helpful because, with it, she learned eccentric viewing and made best use of her remaining vision.
