Macular and Plasma Xanthophylls Are Higher in Age-related Macular Degeneration than in Normal Aging

Macular and Plasma Xanthophylls Are Higher in Age-related Macular Degeneration than in Normal Aging

Purpose: Quantification of retinal xanthophyll carotenoids in eyes with and without age-related macular degeneration (AMD) via macular pigment optical volume (MPOV), a metric for xanthophyll abundance from dual wavelength autofluorescence, plus correlations to plasma levels, could clarify the role o...
