In age-related macular degeneration (AMD), soft confluent drusen appear as yellowish deposits on true color imaging, often coalescing into larger lesions. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) reveals these drusen as elevations of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) with underlying hyporeflective spaces. The presence of large, confluent drusen increases the risk of progression to advanced AMD, making multimodal imaging essential for monitoring.

In age-related macular degeneration (AMD), outer retinal tubulations (ORT) can present unique patterns on en-face OCT, often resembling intraretinal fluid (IRF), leading to potential misdiagnosis. In the presented case, en-face imaging shows ORT as hyporreflective interconnected branching networks extensions  surrounded by a hyperreflective borders, while dark areas without hyperreflective borders at the periphery represent subretinal fluid (SRF). Accurate interpretation of en-face OCT is essential to differentiate these findings and guide appropriate management.

In advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a disciform scar represents the end stage of neovascular AMD. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) shows hyperreflective fibrotic tissue replacing normal retinal layers, with possible subretinal fluid or retinal thinning. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) reveals hypoautofluorescence due to retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy, with surrounding hyperautofluorescence indicating RPE stress. These modalities help document structural damage and guide management.

n age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with geographic atrophy (GA), fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and near-infrared (NIR) reflectance imaging provide complementary insights. FAF reveals hypoautofluorescence in areas of RPE loss, with hyperautofluorescent borders indicating regions at risk for progression. NIR reflectance highlights the atrophic zones with high contrast, providing detailed visualization of choroidal and structural changes. These imaging techniques are essential for monitoring GA progression.

In age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with geographic atrophy (GA), fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and near-infrared reflectance (NIR) imaging are essential tools. FAF highlights hypoautofluorescent areas corresponding to RPE loss and hyperautofluorescent borders indicating regions at risk for progression. NIR provides high-contrast imaging of atrophic regions and choroidal changes, complementing FAF for monitoring GA progression.

In age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with geographic atrophy, fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is used to assess the extent of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) loss. Areas of atrophy appear as hypoautofluorescent zones due to the absence of RPE, while hyperautofluorescent borders may indicate regions at risk for progression. FAF is essential for monitoring disease advancement and assessing the risk of further vision loss.

In age-related macular degeneration (AMD), clinical findings includes confluent soft drusen, pigment migration, and RPE atrophy. Confluent soft drusen are large, yellowish deposits under the RPE, indicating a higher risk of progression. Pigment migration occurs as RPE cells move irregularly, and RPE atrophy presents as areas of cell loss, all contributing to gradual vision loss.

In dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), drusen and geographic atrophy are common findings. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging highlights areas of RPE stress and degeneration: drusen may appear as hyperautofluorescent spots, while geographic atrophy shows marked hypoautofluorescence due to RPE loss. FAF is invaluable for monitoring progression and assessing areas at risk for further atrophy.

In Type 3 macular neovascularization (MNV), OCT-Angiography B-scan with decorrelation signal is essential for detecting intraretinal neovascularization. The decorrelation signal appears as flow signals within the retinal layers on OCT-A, indicating abnormal blood vessels and helping to confirm the presence of Type 3 MNV. This non-invasive imaging technique is critical for diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression.
