The Association between Foveal Morphology and Macular Pigment Spatial Distribution: An Ethnicity Study.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2017

Ctori Irene, Huntjens Byki

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Macular pigment (MP) spatial distribution varies considerably among individuals. We investigated ethnic variations in MP spatial distribution in relation to foveal architecture. METHODS: We measured MP optical density (MPOD) using heterochromatic flicker photometry (MAP test, City, University of London) in 76 white, 80 South Asian and 70 black volunteers (18 to 39 years). MPOD spatial profiles were...
