Management of Early Age-Related Macular Degeneration with Drusen and/or Pigmentary Abnormalities

Clinical Scenario

This protocol applies to patients presenting with early age-related macular degeneration (AMD) — characterised by the presence of drusen and/or pigmentary abnormalities in the absence of late AMD features.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of early AMD is confirmed through slit-lamp biomicroscopic fundus examination, which identifies the characteristic drusen deposits and/or pigmentary changes that define this stage.
