To precisely quantify the macular microvasculature density using microperfusion and labeling techniques in human donor eyes. Such information may be useful in understanding the role of the macular microvasculature in coping with the metabolic requirements of the neurons in this densely packed region, and provide a reference point for clinical studies using recently developed optical imaging techniques.
