The distribution of macular pigment in human albinos.
This study investigated the variation in density of macular pigment across the central retina in normal and albino subjects. Luminance profiles were measured using a fundus camera and digital video techniques. The normal group had pigment spatial distributions consistent with previous studies. The albinos had no variation in absorbance across the central retina.
