Objective determination of the macular pigment optical density using fundus reflectance spectroscopy.
Fundus reflectance spectroscopy has proven to be a reliable method for objective, in vivo determination of the macular pigment optical density. This paper discusses the technique and reviews measurements, including the observed absence of an age effect.
