Decreased Macular Choriocapillaris Perfusion in Eyes With Macular Reticular Pseudodrusen Imaged With Swept-Source OCT Angiography

Jianqing Li et al.

Summary: By examining macular reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) eyes, it was found that they were associated with impaired macular choroidal perfusion. The study showed that RPD eyes had higher macular choriocapillaris flow deficits (FDs), decreased choriocapillaris thickness, and thinner mean choroidal thickness (MCT) compared with normal and soft drusen eyes.

Choroidal structural changes in different intermediate AMD patterns

Pasquale Viggiano et al.

Summary: The study investigated choroidal thickness and choroidal vascularity index in eyes with drusen and RPD compared with healthy individuals using the SD-OCT with EDI system. Results showed significant decreases in both CT and CVI in RPD eyes, but not in eyes with drusen. This suggests that RPD may be associated with altered choroidal vascularity leading to increased risk of late AMD compared to eyes with drusen.

Impact of Reticular Pseudodrusen on Choriocapillaris Flow Deficits and Choroidal Structure on Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

Zhichao Wu et al.

Summary: The coexistence of RPD in individuals with intermediate AMD was not associated with significant impairments in choriocapillaris blood flow and choroidal vascular structural changes. However, the percentage and size of FDs were significantly greater with increasing drusen volume.

Age-related macular degeneration: Epidemiology, genetics, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and targeted therapy

Yanhui Deng et al.

Summary: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a complex eye disorder that leads to incurable blindness in the elderly, with wet and dry forms classified as the advanced stages. Genetic factors, lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and aging all play a role in the development of AMD, with current treatment focusing on anti-VEGF therapy for wet AMD. New AMD drugs and iPSC-derived RPE cell therapy show promise in improving AMD treatment in the near future.

Clinical Manifestations of Cuticular Drusen: Current Perspectives

Serena Fragiotta et al.

Summary: Cuticular drusen are a part of age-related macular degeneration, sharing high-risk polymorphisms with AMD. Multimodal imaging is essential to characterize these lesions, and while the clinical course may be relatively benign at early stages, the presence of large drusen in older patients may confer significant risk for macular neovascularization or geographic atrophy.

Gongpeng Sun et al.

Summary: The study suggests that elevated 3D CVI in healthy individuals may lead to choroidal vessel dilatation, resulting in decreased choriocapillaris perfusion correlated with an enlarged area of FD.
