Topographic Analysis of Two-Wavelength Autofluorescence Supports Higher Macular Xanthophyll Pigment in AMD Than Aging: ALSTAR2 Baseline
New analytics support previously reported higher MPOD in AMD compared to normal eyes, especially central subfield and inner ring. MPOD and qAF differ by disease-stage-related topography and correlations, supporting independent use in metabolic imaging of the macula lutea.
