Abstract
We define anatomic correlates to SDOCT images from normal prenatal and postnatal human fovea. OCT bands typical of photoreceptors of the adult fovea are absent near birth because of the immaturity of foveal cones, develop by 24 months, and mature into childhood. This validates the source of SDOCT signal and provides a framework to assess foveal development and disease.
