DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-21681-4
Abstract: Macular pigment optical density (MPOD) models enhance understanding of macular xanthophyll distribution, particularly relevant to age-related macular degeneration. This study investigates an existing model and introduces a novel, more accurate and biologically relevant approach. MPOD… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/iae.0000000000003387
Abstract: Macular pigment optical density, measured by heterochromatic flicker photometry, increases in eyes with primary epiretinal membrane, proportionally to epiretinal membrane severity and, particularly, to outer nuclear layer thickening. Probably, epiretinal membrane contraction induces a foveal… read more here.
