Three dimensional imaging in age-related macular degeneration.

The ability of confocal scanning laser tomography to quantify the subretinal features was investigated. The slope ratios (anterior slope/posterior slope) of the axial intensity profiles were analyzed. The data fromnormal subjects showed only minimal influence of individual ocular pigmentation. In the eyes with agerelated macular degeneration, the light-tissue interactions vary according to the type of retinal features. Three-dimensional information could be obtained from the axial intensity profiles.
