Small yellow or white deposits in the macula that occur in macular degeneration.
(DRU-zin): Tiny, white, shiny deposits behind the retina. Common after age 60; sometimes an early sign of macular degeneration.
Abnormal deposits that form between Bruch's membrane and the retinal pigmented epithelium that are a hallmark of AMD. Drusen are thought to cause dysfunction in pigmented epithelial cells and adjacent photoreceptor cells of the retina.
discolored spots in the retina - can be an early sign of macular degeneration
DRU-zen] - small yellowish, protein lipid deposits in the retina appearing in the early stages of dry (atrophic) macular degeneration. Two types: hard and soft, with the latter being more likely to signal future retinal problems.
Tiny, white, hyaline (clear, glassy like) deposits lying beneath the retinal pigment (RPE).
These are accumulation of waste products of metabolism under the retina, which are associated with age-related macular degeneration. They are white / yellow and may be discrete or confluent dots.
Yellow aging deposits that accumulate underneath the retina in dry AMD. They can weaken the retina.
white or yellowish deposits within the retina that commonly occur after age 60. Individuals with drusen are at increased risk of later developing abnormal blood vessels that leak and form scar tissue on the choroid.
Tiny white deposits in the retina beneath the retinal pigment epithelial layer. Associated with aging changes of the retina as in macular degeneration.
Yellow-white deposits found under the macula. Drusen deposits are associated with the dry form of macular degeneration. They are thought to be an accumulation of waste materials.
Small yellow mounds of debris that accumulate within Bruch's membrane (of the retinal pigment epithelium). Common after age 60 and an early sign of age-related macular degeneration.
Fatty, yellow deposits or spots that build up under the retina.
can appear as tiny, glassy deposits or large, "yellowish" fatty deposits behind the retina of the eye.
Tiny yellow or white deposits in the retina or optic nerve head.
(DROO-zen) Tiny yellow or white deposits in the retina.
(DRU-zin). Tiny, white hyaline deposits on Bruch's membrane (of the retinal pigment epithelium). Common after age 60; sometimes an early sign of macular degeneration.
Small yellow deposits in the retina, sometimes associated with aging and with age-related macular degeneration. There may be no symptoms present in the early stages and may lead to a reduction in visual acuity later in life.
Yellow spots under the retina. See the Macular Degeneration FAQ ("What are drusen?").
Drusen (singular, "druse") are tiny yellow or white accumulations of extracellular material that build up in Bruch's membrane of the eye. The presence of a few small ("hard") drusen is normal with advancing age, and most people over 40 have some hard drusen. However, the presence of larger and more numerous drusen in the macula is a common early sign of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD).
