Table 2.

A summary of proposed outcome measures for different stages of disease.

Stage Defining Characteristics Potentially Appropriate Outcome Measures
Early stage Rod degeneration in the mid-peripheral region with some secondary cone involvement and reduced para-central retinal sensitivity. - Full field perimetry (static)
- Mesopic/scotopic microperimetry
- Patient-reported outcomes
- OCT
- FAF
- Infrared AF
Moderate stage Radial advancement of rod and secondary cone degeneration with a scotomatous mid-peripheral region and reduced retinal sensitivity encroaching the macula. - Full field perimetry (static or kinetic)
- Mesopic microperimetry
- Patient-reported outcomes
- OCT
- FAF
- BCVA/LLVA
Late stage Defined by the encroachment of scotomas and/or reduced sensitivity well within the vascular arcades and encroaching the central region (Figure 1 and Figure 2). - Full field perimetry (static or kinetic)
- Mesopic microperimetry
- Patient-reported outcomes
- OCT (Figure 3)
- FAF
- FST
- BCVA/LLVA
