Abstract
Yellowish pigmentation of the macula results from macular pigments called lutein, zeaxanthin, and mesozeaxanthin. Anatomical, biochemical (antioxidative) and optical (short-wavelength blue light absorption) properties of the macular pigments have increased the interest in vision and macular health. Macular pigments have been shown to have a protective role for age-related macular degeneration which is one of the leading causes of blindness all over the world. Macular pigments play an important role in the evaluation of the fundus imaging and diagnostic systems such as autofluorescence and angiography.
