Macular Pigment and Lutein Supplementation in<i>ABCA4</i>-Associated Retinal Degenerations

Abstract

MP is strongly affected by the stage of ABCA4 disease leading to abnormal foveal architecture. MP could be augmented by supplemental lutein in some patients. There was no change in central vision after 6 months of lutein supplementation. Long-term influences of this supplement on the natural history of these macular degenerations require further study.
