    Abstract:

    Older individuals with macular diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration, experience central vision loss (CVL) due to degeneration of their photoreceptors and retinal cells. Patients with CVL may experience various vision impairments, including of visual acuity, fixation stability, contrast sensitivity, and stereoacuity. After CVL, most patients develop a preferred retinal locus outside the affected macular region, which serves as a new visual reference. In this review, we provide an overview of the visual function and impairment in individuals with CVL. In addition, the important role of biofeedback training on the visual function and activity of individuals with CVL is also reviewed. Accordingly, the location and development of the preferred retinal loci are discussed. Finally, this review discusses how to conduct biofeedback training to treat individuals with CVL.
