Abstract:
A reflectometry instrument includes a light source for emitting an illumination beam that illuminates the macula. A portion of the illumination beam is reflected from the macula and forms a detection beam. The detection beam is indicative of macular pigment in the macula. The instrument also includes a first mirror for reflecting the illumination beam toward the macula and for reflecting the detection beam from the macula. The instrument is configured so that the illumination beam and the detection beam remain separated between the macula and the first mirror.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of determining the amount of macular pigment in a macula of a human eye, comprising:\n directing an illumination beam from an illumination source and onto the macula via a series of mirrors so as to produce a detection beam that reflects from the macula; directing the detection beam from the macula and to a spectrometer via the series of mirrors, the detection beam reflecting off the series of mirrors offset from the illumination beam such that the detection beam and the illumination beam remain separated; receiving the detection beam at the spectrometer; and measuring a characteristic of the detection beam at the spectrometer to determine the amount of the macular pigment.
