To evaluate the ability of frequency domain-optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT)-measured macular thickness parameters to differentiate between eyes with resolved chronic papilledema and healthy ...

It’s called “age-related” macular degeneration because it’s more common in people older than 60. As soft drusen get larger, they can cause bleeding and scarring in the cells of the macula.

Direct ophthalmoscopy can be used to check for papilledema, as well as reduce the suspicion of increased intracranial pressure by confirming the presence of spontaneous venous pulsation. Figure 2 .
