Evaluation of retinal pigment epithelium changes in serous pigment epithelial detachment in age-related macular degeneration
Abstract The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) changes in serous pigment epithelial detachment (PED) among patients with age-related macular degeneration by means of prototype multi-contrast optical coherence tomography (OCT), which is capable of s...
