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 on 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

Özet

Makuladaki sarı pigmentasyon, lutein, zeaksantin ve mezozeaksantin denilen maküler pigmentlerden oluşmaktadır. Anatomik, biyokimyasal (antioksidan)ve optik (kısa dalga boylu mavi ışığı emici özelliği) özellikleri nedeniyle görme ve makula sağlığı konusundaki ilgiyi artırmaktadır. Maküler pigmentlerin, tüm dünyada sık görülen körlük nedenleri arasında yer alan yaşa bağlı makula dejenerasyonuna karşı koruyucu özellik gösterdiği ortaya konmuştur. Otofloresans ve anjiyografi gibi fundus görüntüleme ve tanı sistemlerinin analizinde maküler pigmentlerin varlığı önemli bir yer teşkil etmektedir
