With aging, the human retina undergoes cell death and additional structural changes that can increase scattered light. We quantified the effect of normative aging on multiply scattered light returning from the human fundus. As expected, there was an increase of multiply scattered light associated with aging, and this is consistent with the histological changes that occur in the fundus of individuals before developing age-related macular degeneration. This increase in scattered light with aging cannot be attributed to retinal reflectivity, anterior segment scatter, or pupil diameter.
随着年龄的增长,人类视网膜会经历细胞死亡以及其他结构变化,这些变化会增加散射光。我们量化了正常衰老对从人眼底返回的多次散射光的影响。正如预期的那样,与衰老相关的多次散射光有所增加,这与在发生年龄相关性黄斑变性之前个体眼底发生的组织学变化是一致的。这种随年龄增长而增加的散射光不能归因于视网膜反射率、眼前节散射或瞳孔直径。
