N2 - The number of individuals with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is rapidly increasing. One of the main symptoms of AMD is 'metamorphopsia,' or distorted vision, which not only makes it difficult for individuals with AMD to do detailed-oriented tasks but also makes sufferers more vulnerable to certain risks in day-to-day life. Traditional clinical approaches to assess metamorphopsia have lacked mechanisms for quantifying the degree of distortion in space, making it impossible to know exactly how individuals with the condition see things. This paper proposes a new method for quantifying distortion in space and visualizing AMD patients' distorted views via line manipulation. By visualizing the distorted views stemming from metamorphopsia, the method gives doctors and others an intuitive picture of how patients see the world and thereby enables a broad range of options for treatment and support.
