MULTIMODAL ASSESSMENTS OF DRUSENOID PIGMENT EPITHELIAL DETACHMENTS IN THE AGE-RELATED EYE DISEASE STUDY 2 ANCILLARY SPECTRAL-DOMAIN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY STUDY COHORT.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To identify features correlating with drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment (DPED) progression in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 Ancillary spectral-domain optical coherence tomography study cohort.

Methods

In this retrospective analysis of a prospective longitudinal study, eyes with intermediate age-related macular degeneration and DPEDs were followed longitudinally with annual multimodal imaging.

Results

Thirty-one eyes of 25 participants (mean age 72.6 years) in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 Ancillary spectral-domain OCT substudy (A2A study) had DPED identified in color fundus images. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography inspection confirmed a subretinal pigment epithelium drusenoid elevation of ≥433 µm diameter in 25 eyes (80.6%). Twent
