Hello everyone! Have had dry macular degeneration for two years. And a lot of drusen. Is there anyone with drusen who can tell me more details about drusen? The doctors do not say what size the drusen are and their hardness - although they do an optical coherence tomography (color image) for me

Hello RodzhB,

I have copied a link to a section on our website which references drusen:

macularsociety.org/macular-...

In addition, please refer to p.7 of the following document:

rcophth.ac.uk/wp-content/up...

You could use the above as a discussion point with your optometrist at the opticians, or your ophthalmologist at an eye clinic, if you are under one.

Kind regards,

Macular Society helpline
