Figure 6. Adaptive optics corrected resolution measurements compared to cone and mRGC Nyquist limits.

Figure 6

a) Adaptive optics corrected visual resolution (MARAO) is worse than predicted by the cone Nyquist limit outside the PRLF. JC_1043, JC_1041, JC_1045 (OD), JC_1045 (OS) are shown as green triangles, red diamonds, dark blue, and light blue squares, respectively. Control is shown as black X’s. Dashed black line is the 1∶1 line of equality. Solid and dotted gray lines are linear regression line with 95% upper and lower confidence intervals from the data of 5 normal observers from Rossi & Roorda (2010). Error bars are ± SEM and omitted when smaller than the symbol. b) Nyquist limit of the normal eye’s mRGC mosaic does not predict resolution outside the PRLF for BCM carriers. Symbols are the same as in (a). Dashed black line is the 1∶1 line of equality. MAR of control eye and JC_1043 at the most eccentric test location fit well with the Drasdo model (Drasdo et al., 2007) estimates of NmRGC outside the PRLF; resolution at the other test locations for JC_1043 and for the other 3 carrier eyes at all locations was worse than predicted by NmRGC.
