To date, these drusen characteristics have not been investigated with respect to cognitive impairment and AD. Given that drusen contain beta-amyloid, and the core structures seen on OCT resemble the ...

Investigators crafted a classification for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) ...

Fig. 1: Left: Retina of patient with “dry” age-related macular degeneration, showing drusen (yellow spots) in the macula. Right: Retina of same patient months later, showing progression to “wet” ...

Soft drusen, which can grow, can cause bleeding and scarring in the cells of the macula. An excess of drusen can contribute to developing macular degeneration.
