drusen
I was recently diagnosed with drusen, exactly what does this mean? My father had macular degeneration. ?Does this mean that I will likely have macular degeneration later in life. Thanks for your help!

I am a patient of Dry AMD. As i understand from the website, drusen are particles in retina. causing dry amd. there is no treatment for the dry form except nutritionaa supliment like luetin and vitamns.
This may progress to wet Amd.New vessels are formed and as they leak they cause the problem which is sealed with Laser therapy. This is the rough sketch of the problem.
I have two options: do nothing (just take vitamins) or Implant asphyrical lens(latest introduction in the market) which automatically corrects the problem of AMD.
I will be able to presenty my problem poperly after consultation wiht my doctor.
I am 78 and I have to use a magnifying glass in addition to my spects for reading. I read some where that every body has one drusen. It creats probem when they are more in mumbers.
I am sure you will get true pcture from the experts.
I also read about new protein called Robo4(roundabout4) abd split2 are under treas for dry amd. Results are hopeful till now.
Take meticulous care about your problem.Early treatment may be more effective. Thanks.

Drusen is a sign of macular degeneration. This may lead to dry or wet AMD. There is currently no treatment for dry AMD. For wet AMD we inject drugs into the eye which helps in most cases.

I gave you wrong iinfo on drusen.Please search Drusen and you will find plenty of website. I am pasting the defination of 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 (AMD)
This is not true, you should get facts right...Drusen are not always an indicator of AMD.
