Imaging of a retinal pigment epithelium aperture using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography
ConclusionThe RPE aperture was characterized as a round discontinuity of depolarization. The findings with PS-OCT suggest atrophic changes in the overlying RPE of the PED. The degree of depolarization was associated with retinal sensitivity. The current results indicate that RPE apertures developed within the spectrum of atrophic AMD.
