Figure 2

The microperimetry outcomes of a 37-year-old female who underwent RRD surgery of the right eye five years prior. The microperimetry results are shown at four different timepoints: before training (A), and after 5 (B), 10 (C), and 15 training sessions (D). Before training, the fixation spots were scattered (orange and light blue dots), iPRL (pink spot) and some fixation spots were located in the lesion area, and < 0 dB dark spots (black spots) were seen in 1°circle. P1 = 88%,95% BCEA Area = 4.6°2. BCVA = 62 letters, reading speed = 164 word/min. The 30 dB locus at 1°above the iPRL was selected as FTT (dark blue spot in figureA); after 5 training sessions, the fixation points and PRL shifted upward. P1 = 94%,95% BCEA Area = 2.6°2, BCVA = 66 letters, reading speed = 170 word/min. After ten training sessions, it was observed that the fixation point became more concentrated, and the 1° circle scotoma disappeared. P1 = 100%, 95% BCEA Area = 0.5°2, BCVA = 74 letters, reading speed = 204word/min. After fifteen training sessions, the fixation stability was slightly lower than before, but it remained concentrated. P1 = 100%,95% BCEA Area = 1.0°2, BCVA = 73letters, reading speed = 212 word/min.
