Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Diurnal variations in foveal thickness have been reported in several ocular pathologies including X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS), but its underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Rods are active under scotopic conditions with high metabolic demand, and its decrease may have positive effect on metabolic activity and macular thickness. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether exposure to light...
