Macular pigment in retinal health and disease
Lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoid pigments of the xanthophyll subclass, are present in high concentrations in the retina, especially in the macula. They work as a filter protecting the macula from blue light and also as a resident antioxidant and free radical scavenger to reduce oxidative stress-induced damage. Many observational and interventional studies have suggested that lutein and zea...
متن کاملMacular pigment deposits in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
This is a study of 20 cases of macular migration after operation for retinal detachment. The frequency of pigment deposits on the macula among the total number of operated detachments was 6.4%. The evolution of pigment migration depened on the form and type of the deposits. In some cases the pigment diminished or disappeared. In 6 of the 20 eyes with pigment migration puckering of the macula oc...
متن کاملEvidence of retinal function using microperimetry following autologous retinal pigment epithelium-choroid graft in macular dystrophy.
PURPOSE To describe the outcomes of autologous retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-choroid graft in macular dystrophy. METHODS In this prospective interventional case series, five patients with macular dystrophy were enrolled to undergo autologous RPE-choroid patch graft between August 2005 and January 2007. All patients received preoperative and postoperative evaluations including visual acuity...
متن کاملA case of acute retinal pigment epithelitis: spectral domain optical coherence tomography time course and physiopathologic hypothesis
PURPOSE To report the time course of retinal morphologic changes in a patient with acute retinal pigment epithelitis (ARPE) using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS A 30-year old man was referred for blurred vision of his right eye after five days that appeared suddenly 15 days after recovery from a flu-like syndrome. SD-OCT was performed immediately, followed by f...
متن کاملSpatial Analysis of Retinal Pigment Epithelium Morphology
In patients with age-related macular degeneration, a monolayer of cells in the eyes called retinal pigment epithelium differ from healthy ones in morphology. It is therefore important to quantify the morphological changes, which will help us better understand the physiology, disease progression and classification. Classification of the RPE morphometry has been accomplished with whole tissue dat...
