It is helpful for patients living with AMD to understand the prognosis, risk factors and management of their condition. Online education materials are a popular and promising channel for conveying this knowledge to patients with AMD. However, the quality of these materials\u2014particularly with respect to qualities such as \u2018understandability\u2019 and \u2018actionability\u2019\u2014is not yet known. This study assessed a collection of online materials about AMD based on these qualities of \u2018understandability\u2019 and \u2018actionability\u2019.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Online education materials about AMD were sourced through Google from six English\u2010speaking nations: Australia, New Zealand, USA, UK, Ireland and Canada. Three Australian\/New Zealand trained and registered optometrists participated in the grading of the \u2018understandability\u2019 and \u2018actionability\u2019 of online education materials using the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study analysed a total of 75 online materials. The mean \u2018understandability\u2019 score was 74% (range: 38%\u201394%). The \u2018understandability\u2019 PEMAT criterion U11 (calling for a summary of the key points) scored most poorly across all materials. The mean \u2018actionability\u2019 score was 49% (range: 0%\u201383%). The \u2018actionability\u2019 PEMAT criterion A26 (using \u2018visual aids\u2019 to make instructions easier to act on) scored most poorly across all materials.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most education materials about AMD are easy to understand, but difficult to act on, because of a lack of meaningful visual aids. We propose future enhancements to AMD education materials\u2014including the use of summaries, visual aids and a habit tracker\u2014to help patients with AMD improve their understanding of disease prognosis, risk factors and eye assessment schedule requirements.<\/jats:p>\n
