Chorioretinal juncture. Multiple extramacular drusen

Ophthalmology
H LewisR Y Foos

Abstract

A clinicopathologic study of multiple extramacular drusen (MED) was performed on 784 eyes of 412 consecutive autopsies and on 100 eyes of 50 consecutive patients with MED. The clinical and histopathologic characteristics of MED and its correlation with reticular degeneration of the pigment epithelium (RDPE) and with macular degenerative abnormalities are presented. Multiple extramacular drusen was associated with macular degenerative abnormalities in 88% of autopsy cases, in contrast to 2% of cases in a control population without MED or RDPE. Multiple extramacular drusen and macular degenerative abnormalities are associated findings and apparently have similar pathogenetic mechanisms.

Cell Atlas of the Human Eye

Constructing a cell atlas of the human eye will require transcriptomic and histologic analysis over the lifespan. This understanding will aid in the study of development and disease. Find the latest research pertaining to the Cell Atlas of the Human Eye here.
