| Popis: | The density of macular pigment in the central retina is the total concentration of lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin. Normally, the average value of the optical density of macular pigment can vary significantly as it depends on the person's lifestyle, the total amount of pigment in the body, nutrition, gender, age, as well as concomitant diseases such as diabetes, obesity, arterial hypertension. Differences in the level of optical density of macular pigment between different countries were revealed and it was showed that this parameter drops in cases of retinal pathology, cataract, glaucoma, myopia, macular degeneration, or diabetic macular edema. The level of macular pigment may be considered as a significant diagnostic criterion in many ophthalmic pathologies, so any changes of this parameter require attentive consideration. |
