The Association of Retinal Structure and Macular Pigment Distribution

Abstract

Higher values of MPOD at 1° and 2°, as well as a ring-like distribution of MPOD were associated significantly with thinner maculae, due to thinner inner retinal layers. The MPOD distribution was unrelated to the slope of the foveal pit or the choroidal thickness. Our results suggest that the retinal section between the internal and external limiting membrane is involved in the spatial distribution of MPOD.
