Table 5. Cone density and arrangement on AO-SLO vs. photoreceptor status on SD-OCT in eyes with retinitis pigmentosa (0.5 mm from center of the fovea).
Intact IS ellipsoid | Disrupted IS ellipsoid | P * | |
Cone density (cones/mm2) | 16,784±4,567 | 13,170±2,715 | 0.044 |
Ratio of hexagonal Voronoi domain (%) | 40.1±6.2 | 38.4±4.8 | 0.479 |
Average NND/expected NND | 0.68±0.04 | 0.66±0.04 | 0.276 |
Mann-Whitney U test.
IS: photoreceptor inner segment, NND: nearest-neighbor distance.
