Background Small hard macular drusen can be observed in the retina of adults as young as 18 years of age. Here, we seek to describe the in vivo topography and geometry of these drusen. Methods Retinal ...

AIM To describe the early formation of drusen and their relation to normal aging changes at the macula and to the development of age related maculopathy (ARM). METHOD Histopathological features of 353 ...

Step 2: predict the final drusen mask based on the results of step 1. Please check the notebook file test_main_model.ipynb (Change all the PATH director before runing the notebook.) Step 1: train the ...

What is macular degeneration? There is a structure called the retina in the back of our eyes that acts like film, capturing images that go to our brains for interpretation. The retina is vulnerable to ...

Pseudodisc oedema caused by optic disc drusen (ODD) must be differentiated from true disc oedema to avoid unnecessary neurological investigations. ODD can rarely be associated with visually disabling ...

There are two types of macular degeneration: wet and dry. Ninety percent of people with macular degeneration have the dry type, in which small yellow spots called drusen form underneath the macula.

Over time, deposits of lipids and proteins, known as drusen, accumulate in the RPE. These deposits are often an early ...

Dry AMD accounts for 85% to 90% of cases of AMD. It arises from deposits in the macula called drusen. Dry AMD progression depends on the size of the drusen. About 1% to 3% of people with small drusen ...
