Electrophysiological function in eyes with reticular pseudodrusen according to fundus distribution.

ABSTRACT: Reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) could be present not only in the posterior pole but extramacular area also as a confluent morphological pattern. Thus RPD can be classified by the fundus distribution for the assessment of visual prognosis. The electrophysiological function in eyes with reticular pseudodrusen (RPD), showing various fundus distribution were evaluated using full-field electroretinogram (ERG). Retinal distribution of RPD was divided into three types (localized, intermediate, and diffuse) according to the extent of involvement of retinal areas by fundus photograph montages. RPD were present with the diffuse type in 21 eyes (25.6%), with the intermediate type in 30 eyes (36.6%), and with the localized type in 31 eyes (37.8%). The average age was 74.76 ± 4.52 (range, 65-81) years in
