This colour photograph shows classic drusen. These are waste products which are usually cleared. In dry Aged Related Macular Degeneration they accumulate and cause retinal toxicity. This can progress to either retinal atrophy (degeneration) or wet Age Related Macular Degeneration. A combination of dietary change and antioxidant vitamins have been shown to reduce the speed of progression.
This condition classically effects young men who present with blurred vision. Common risk factors include stress and iatrogenic steroids. Most patient resolve spontaneously although laser treatment can be used in persistent Central Serious Retinopathy.

This is a photo of a lady I saw yesterday. She is 82 years old and suffers from emphysema. Despite this, she still smokes. She has had cataract surgery in the past and presented with a four day history of decreased left vision.
On examination, her visual acuity was Right 6/12 and left Count fingers only.
As you can see, she has atrophic changes at her right macula and a huge left macular hemorrhage. I made a diagnosis of wet AMS and injected Lucentis intravitrally.
I asked her to use Macuvision tablets and stressed that she must stop smoking. Let’s see how she goes, I’ll keep you updated.
We would like to cordially invite all General Practitioners for an Education Evening held in our Brookvale rooms on the 1st April 2015.

This is an OCT of a 59 year old female who presented with slow deterioration of central vision. This OCT shows a full thickness macula hole.
This is an OCT of a 64 year old male who presented with a sudden loss of vision. The OCT reveals neo-vascular age related macular degeneration that shows a few drusen and a large pigment epithelial detachment and extensive sub retinal fluid, all consistent with wet AMD.
