Association with Late AMD
- Subretinal drusenoid deposits are of important prognostic value and represent a significant risk factor for the progression of AMD toward conversion to late-stage – both Geographic Atrophy and Choroidal Neovascularization2,17,18
- Beckman Initiative is a commonly used clinical methodology to grade severity of AMD
- Color Fundus Photography was the methodology used to grade AMD and SDDs are not included in the Beckman Classification System
- Newly proposed classification systems aim to include the presence of SDDs as early AMD20
