The optical density curve of the macular pigment has been estimated for 49 European and West Indian subjects by comparing their foveal and extra-foveal spectral sensitivities measured by the flicker technique. No significant differences in density have been observed related to race, normal environment, age, colour of skin or colour of eyes but red-naked subjects had on average a significantly higher density of macular pigment. The extinction coefficient of the pigment was the same for all subjects and differences in density were consistent with variations in pigment concentration and/or thickness of absorbing layer.
