Henle Fiber Layer Phase Retardation Changes Associated With Age-Related Macular Degeneration [Multidisciplinary Ophthalmic Imaging]

Conclusions.
Phase retardation changes in the central macula indicate loss and/or structural alterations to central cone photoreceptors in nonexudative AMD patients. Scanning laser polarimetry imaging is a noninvasive method for quantifying cone photoreceptor changes associated with central macular disease.
