Abstract
The depolarization capabilities of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) are known to be dependent on the position at the macula and may be caused or influenced by the concentration of melanin and lipofuscin. In this work, the depolarization distribution of the RPE in a large group of healthy eyes is investigated using polarization-sensitive OCT by calculating the degree of polarization uniformity (DOPU) in a large field of view. The results are compared to diseased eyes (glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration), which might help to detect early pathologic changes of the RPE.
