Purpose To investigate the distribution of cone density and spacing as well as the preferred packing arrangement of the cone mosaic as a function of retinal eccentricity. Methods An adaptive optics retinal camera (rtx1, www.imagine-eyes.com) was used to obtain images of the parafoveal cone mosaic in nineteen healthy volunteers. Cone density and spacing were estimated for each subject (both eyes) using a sampling window of 80x80 pixels, at 250-, 450-, 650- and 1100-m eccentricities from the fovea along the nasal and temporal retina of both eyes. The inter-subject and intra-subject variation of cone density and spacing were calculated via Coefficient of Variation (CoV). Cone packing arrangement was assessed using Voronoi analysis; calculations were done over 1024x128 pixels image sections of the cone mosaic across the horizontal meridian from 200- to 1050-m eccentricities. Results The inter-subject variation of parafoveal cone density ranged between 10% and 15% (p
