Macular pigment optical density following lutein scleral iontophoresis in intermediate age-related macular degeneration: A six-month pilot study
The inverse correlation between MPOD change and RS decline at 3 months raises the possibility that early augmentation of MP may provide a protective functional effect. These data support the short-term feasibility of scleral iontophoresis for targeted lutein delivery.
