In AMD, macular hyperpigmentary changes are associated to a worse...doi:10.1186/s40942-019-0160-4Abalem, Maria FernandaOmari, Amro A.Schlegel, DanaKhan, Naheed W.Jayasundera, ThiranInternational Journal of Retina & Vitreous
Methods Definitions We focused on obtaining accurate estimates of the prevalence of NV AMDand GA as well as the presence of large drusen (ie, those ≥125 µm).Given the large overlap of pigmentary changes with large drusen, and datathat show that large drusen are associated with an almost...
In the proliferative stage, the principle method for vision loss changes from foveal atrophy to fibrosis. Thus, this simple staging of perifoveal telangiectasia has an anatomical basis and a functional significance. The other typical characteristics of perifoveal telangiectasia, such as pigment plaques ...
Considering that the DL grading model is better at detecting drusen and pigmentary changes, we also took the grades from the DL grading model and used these as input to the SSS and the Casey calculator, to generate predictions (Supplementary Table 3). We found that the accuracy of the predi...

and/or pigmentary changes. Category 3 (AREDS3) eyes include those with more extensive drusen such that they have at least one large druse >124 μm (“soft” druse), multiple intermediate drusen, and/or GA not involving the central macula. Category 4 (AREDS4) refers to eyes exhibiting GA...

In addition, since non–AMD-related RPE pigmentary changes were excluded from the analysis, the increased prevalence of central serous retinopathy is unlikely to explain this higher prevalence in men. Large drusen (≥125 μm diameter) are clinically important lesions in early AMD and have been ...
In the present study, stage 1 of the CARMS was defined as normal macular health; a strong rationale for adopting this definition was that stage 1 specifies no or minimal presence of small drusen and no pigmentary changes. Moving the cut point of normality to stage 2, which signifies the ...
34 subjects had confirmed early stage AMD in at least one eye (AMD group; categorized and identified by either presence of drusen and/or pigmentary changes at the macula), and 37 subjects had no ocular pathology (normal group). Importantly, for the AMD group, significant efforts were made ...
