We present a methodology to assess cell level alterations on the human retina responsible for functional changes observable in the Optical Coherence Tomography data in healthy ageing and in disease conditions. The methodology is based in a multilayer Monte Carlo computational model of the human retina. The optical properties of each layer are obtained by solving the Maxwell's equations on representative domains of small regions of those layers, using a Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method.
