Clinical Features of Optic Disc Drusen in an Ophthalmic Genetics Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Materials and methods

Electronic medical records of patients evaluated in the Ophthalmic Genetics clinic at the National Eye Institute (NEI) between 2008 and 2018 were searched for a superficial ODD diagnosis. Color fundus and autofluorescence images were reviewed to confirm ODD, supplemented with optical coherence tomography (OCT) in uncertain cases when available. Demographic information, examination, and genetic testing were reviewed. Disc areas and disc-to-macula distance to disc diameter ratios (DM : DD) were calculated.

Results

Fifty six of 6207 patients had photographically confirmed ODD (0.9%). Drusen were predominantly bilateral (66%), with a female (62%) and Caucasian (73%) predilection. ODD prevalence in our cohort of patients with inherited retinal degenerations
