Evaluating Outer Segment Length as A Surrogate Measure of Peak Foveal Cone Density [PDF]
Adaptive optics (AO) imaging tools enable direct visualization of the cone photoreceptor mosaic, which facilitates quantitative measurements such as cone density. However, in many individuals, low image quality or excessive eye movements precludes making
