Abstract:Summary
A central dip in macular pigment (MP) has shown to be more prevalent with age, in AMD patients, and in smokers. We investigated clinical and genetic biomarkers in non‐smoking children of AMD parents (n = 131) over 40 years of age without AMD pathology in relation to their MP spatial profile. MP peak and volume were obtained with ARIS (Visual Pathways, Inc, Prescott, AZ USA) while spatial profiles for both eyes were classified visually and objectively. We explored risk factors including serum carotenoid… Show more
