TL;DR: A common detection and classification system is needed for epidemiologic studies of age-related maculopathy (ARM) and such a grading scheme for ARM is described in this paper.
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between retinal drusen, retinal pigmentary abnormalities, and macular degeneration to age and sex was studied in 4926 people between the ages of 43 and 86 years who participated in the Beaver Dam Eye Study.
TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography is potentially a powerful tool for detecting and monitoring a variety of macular diseases, including macular edema, macular holes, and detachments of the neurosensory retina and pigment epithelium.
TL;DR: A new system for grading age-related maculopathy using stereoscopic 30 degrees color fundus photographs, standard circles printed on plastic to assess size and area, and a specially designed lightbox to allow better discrimination of subtle drusen is described and measures of reliability are reported.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the presence of soft drusen and pigmentary abnormalities significantly increases the risk for the development of geographic atrophy and exudative macular degeneration in people 75 years of age or older, and in women compared with men that age.
