Meta - analysis of three RCTs
showed significant benefit for sweep VEP
acuity at 12 months (log of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR)-RRB-(mean difference (MD)-0.15, 95 % confidence interval (CI)-0.17 to -0.13; I2 = 0; three trials; N = 244), but meta - analysis of three other RCTs

Although complicated, surgical procedures such as the autologous transplantation of peripheral RPE to the macular region [63]--[66] and macular translocation, where the neural retina is detached and the fovea relocated to a less diseased area of RPE [67]--[69], have been
shown to stabilize
visual acuity in AMD patients.
Visual acuity tests

visual acuity was related to more functional limitations.
The simple slopes analysis
showed that, as expected,
visual acuity was unrelated to functional limitations when relationship satisfaction was high (B = − 0.09, t = − 0.29, p = n.s.), but poor
visual acuity significantly predicted more functional limitations when relationship satisfaction was low (B = 0.72, t = 2.54, p <.01).
