Comparison of macular pigment optical density in patients with dry and wet age-related macular degeneration
AIM The aim of the study was to evaluate the macular pigment optical density (MPOD) levels in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), dry AMD, and also in healthy controls. SETTINGS AND DESIGN This study was conducted at Department of Ophthalmology, and the study design was a prospective study. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-eight patients with wet AMD, 51 patients with dry AM...
متن کاملMacular pigment and age related macular degeneration.
The present concepts of the pathogenesis of AMD include cumulative light damage by oxidative processes in the macular photoreceptors as environmental co-factor for the development of AMD. The direct causative connection of this hypothesis has still to be established but wide circumstantial evidence from epidemiological and basic scientific investigations are strongly supportive. Macular pigment...
متن کاملWet Age Related Macular Degeneration
Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the developed countries. Approximately 8 million people in America have AMD and the number of advanced AMD is likely to rise by 50% by year 2020 due to the projected increase in the number of elderly people (Friedman et al., 2004). AMD is a condition of significant morbidity in terms of both physical and mental health (...

متن کاملMacular Pigment Density Measurement in Patients with Age-related Macular Degeneration
Macular pigment is key to the healthy eye. Direct determination of macular pigment optical density using single-wavelength reflectometry with a fundus camera has allowed to identify changes in macular pigmentation in patients with dry or exudative macular degeneration. This approach could be useful for individualised patient follow-up, particularly in those with age-related macular degeneration.
