Purpose. This study aims to find out which tool, fundus autofluorescence (FAF) or spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), is more sensitive in detecting retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) demise overlying drusen and can, therefore, help ...

Interactive Image Analysis in Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Stargardt Disease (STGD) [PDF]
The literature of the last three decades is replete with automatic methods for retinal image analysis. Acceptance has been limited due to post-processing or tuning requirements that may be just as time consuming as the original manual methods.

Visual Function Assessment in Geographic Atrophy: A Review
ABSTRACT Geographic atrophy (GA) causes significant vision impairment and reduction in vision‐related quality of life. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is the gold standard of structural assessment of GA but is a surrogate marker for vision loss, which can be assessed by tests of visual function and functional vision.

POSSIBILITIES OF MODERN IMAGING TECHNIQUES IN DIAGNOSTICS OF OPTIC NERVE DRUSEN (LITERATURE REVIEW)
With the introduction and development of new diagnostic techniques, the relevance of drusen of the optic nerve diagnostics is increasing. Existing imaging techniques alone or in their various combinations cannot allow to confirm optic nerve drusen in all

Abundant lipid and protein components of drusen. [PDF]
Drusen are extracellular lesions characteristic of aging and age-related maculopathy, a major retinal disease of the elderly. We determined the relative proportions of lipids and proteins in drusen capped with retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and in RPE ...

Documentation of Intraretinal Retinal Pigment Epithelium Migration via High-Speed Ultrahigh-Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]
Purpose To describe the features of intraretinal retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) migration documented on a prototype spectral-domain, high-speed, ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) device in a group of patients with early to ...

The Proteomics of Drusen [PDF]
The formation of extracellular deposits known as drusen below the macular region of the retina correlates with increased risk of severe visual loss from age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Inflammation and complement dysregulation contribute to AMD progression; however, disease mechanisms remain incompletely defined.

ABSTRACT Background Osseous metaplasia is a rare condition characterized by abnormal bone growth in soft tissues. Although documented in mammals, intraocular osseous metaplasia is uncommon in avian species and has been poorly characterized in turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo).
