요약

Conflicting findings exist in the literature with regard to the relationship between iris color, ethnicity, macular pigment optical density (MPOD), and hue discrimination. This study re-examined these relationships, accounting for factors that may have confounded prior studies. Clinically, the relationship between MPOD and hue discrimination may impact the utility of macular pigment supplementation as a treatment for conditions such as macular degeneration.Subjects (n = 30, mean/SD age = 25.1/2.5 yrs.) with normal color vision completed MPOD testing and Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue (FM100) testing. MPOD data was derived from the average of three measurements using the QuantifEYE II device and FM100 testing included training runs. The total error score of the FM100 test was used for analysis. Iris color was determined subjectively, while iris reflectance was derived using calibrated iris images. Spearman correlations were used to determine the relationship between MPOD and FM100 test scores. Kruskal-Wallis testing was used to investigate MPOD differences among different ethnicities and iris colors.MPODs were normally distributed with a mean/SD = 0.38/0.13. Total error scores had a mean/SD of 10.7/9.7, but were not normally distributed. Iris reflectances had a mean/SD = 11.0/8.7. MPODs were not correlated to total error scores (p = 0.93). MPODs were also not correlated with iris reflectances (p = 0.28) even though MPODs differed significantly by iris color (brown = 0.44, hazel = 0.31, blue = 0.33, p = 0.04). Iris reflectances were not correlated with total error scores (p = 0.68). MPODs differed significantly (p = 0.003) between Asian and Caucasian subjects, 0.44 and 0.33, respectively.This study did not find a correlation between MPOD and hue discrimination as in some previous studies. While MPOD was associated with iris color and ethnicity as found in prior studies, it was not associated with iris reflectance, which may be a better indicator of ocular pigmentation compared to either iris color or ethnicity.
