Changes of drusen number and central retinal thickness in age-related macular degeneration patients over two years.
In this study, we analyzed 44 eyes with drusiform dry ARMD using high resolution optical
coherence tomography over a 2-year period. Our results showed a statistically significant increase in drusen number in both females and males in the 2-year period. On average, increment by 4 and 5 drusen per eye during the 2-year period was recorded in female and male patients with drusiform dry
ARMD, respectively. Also, statistical analysis of the central retinal thickness showed that women with drusiform dry ARMD had a statistically significantly thinner macula than their male counterparts.
