Retinal differential light sensitivity variation across the macula in healthy subjects: Importance of cone separation and loci eccentricity

Microperimetry measures differential light sensitivity (DLS) at specific retinal locations. The aim of this study is to examine the variation in DLS across the macula and the contribution to this variation of cone distribution metrics and retinal eccentricity.
