We firstly reported cone cell body and Muller cells in normal eyes using adaptive optics OCT. Mean total size and each size of flow voids, which shows spaces among mesh work structures of choriocapillaris, were 0.99 mm2 and 567.8 μm2. They were correlated negatively with age.
Mean cone cell body density 0.5 mm apart from geographic atrophy was significantly reduced in eyes with dry AMD, compared with normal eyes. These results were remarkable in eyes with pseudodrusen. We firstly reported deposits under retinal pigment epithelium using adaptive optics OCT.
