[Specification of reflectometric measurement complex to evaluate optic density of macular pigments and concentration of phototoxic chemicals in retina].

Suggestion is to specify reflectometric measurement complex based on digital multisensor imaginery fundus-camera, in order to evaluate optic density of macular pigments and concentration of phototoxic chemicals in human retina. The authors presented a review of role played by macular pigments (zeaxanthine and lutein) in human eye viability, analyzed yellow spot as a protective light filter against harmful effects of short-wave light, increasing optic image quality in human eye and responsible for colour vision. Role of evaluating the individual density of macular pigments was stressed as a forecasting efficient criterion of occupational selection in operators performing visual tasks of detection, distance and dimensions measurement for remote objects, monitoring the changeable circumstances.
