Hence, given two anatomically identical drusen, one in the center of the macula and one at 3000 μm, the observer will see them differently in the fundus photograph.
This disc to macula distance anatomically (3000 microns) is a more reliable constant than the disc diameter (DD) often used as a clinical reference scale.
For uniformity of processing, all images were resized with bicubic interpolation so that the distance from the center of the macula to the temporal disc edge was 490 pixels.
Hence, if luteal pigment was evident (as judged by the presence of a disc of characteristic yellowish coloration in the central macula, or marked central background darkening consistent with that of luteal pigment), this region was corrected first.
We therefore constructed appropriate annular zones in the macula for percentage (multiplicative) increases in brightness to be empirically determined using published data on the spatial distribution of macular pigment [ 29 30 ] . These observers found that the macular pigment density (hence optical density) is greatest centrally, drops to half-maximum within a diameter of 500 to 600 μm, reaches a quarter-maximum at a diameter of about 1000 μm, and thence tapers slowly to a low constant level within a 2000 μm diameter region.
