Macular Pigment Optical Density Fluctuation as a Function of Pupillary Mydriasis: Methodological Considerations for Dual-Wavelength Autofluorescence.

Conclusions This study clearly demonstrates that dual wavelength AF measurements of MPOD in the same eye vary as a function of pupillary dilation status, with MPOD under-estimated across the entire spatial profile of MP for natural relative to dilated pupillary conditions. Mydriasis should, therefore, be used routinely for MPOD measurements using dual wavelength AF, pupil size should be reported and image quality optimised in order to ensure accurate MPOD quantification.
