Soft Drusen

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.

Type 3 macular neovascularization (MNV) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterized by neovascular growth within the retinal layers. Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) effectively visualizes these intraretinal neovascular networks. Anti-VEGF therapy is the primary treatment, reducing neovascular activity and associated fluid to preserve vision.

Optic disc drusen (ODD) are deposits located within the optic nerve head, often leading to visual field defects. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is a valuable imaging technique for detecting ODD, as it highlights these drusen with high specificity. FAF can help in differentiating ODD from other optic nerve pathologies and in monitoring disease progression. Soft drusen are yellowish deposits beneath the retinal pigment epithelium, commonly found in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Clinically, they appear as large, ill-defined elevations on fundus examination. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging shows these drusen as areas of altered autofluorescence, helping to visualize and track their presence and changes over time, providing crucial information for AMD management.

Type 3 macular neovascularization (MNV) is characterized by neovascular growth originating from the deep capillary plexus, extending into the retinal layers. This subtype, also known as retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP), can be effectively visualized using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA). OCTA provides detailed imaging of the retinal and choroidal microvasculature, facilitating the detection of abnormal blood flow. Intraretinal fluid is commonly associated with Type 3 MNV and can indicate disease progression or response to treatment.

Drusen regression in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can precede the emergence of geographic atrophy (GA). As drusen, which are lipid deposits beneath the retina, decrease in size or number, there may be increased exposure of underlying retinal tissue to damage, potentially accelerating GA development.
