Age-related macular degeneration associated with optic disc drusen.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in association with optic disc drusen (ODD).

Design

This was an observational, cross-sectional study.

Participants

Participants were consecutive patients with and without ODD from the neuro-ophthalmology clinic. Ten patients with concomitant ODD-AMD were sub-analyzed.

Methods

The two cohorts were identified from a prospectively recruited dataset between July 2022 and June 2024. Patients received formal diagnoses of ODD and AMD after ophthalmic and imaging assessment. A logistic regression model was utilized in calculating AMD risk to account for demographic differences.

Results

A total of 94 patients with ODD (median age: 44 [Q1: 20, Q3: 69], 64% women)
