Evaluation of retinal neuroarchitectonics in presence of optic nerve head drusen

Purpose: assessment of retinal neuroarchitectonics in presence of optic nerve head (ONH) drusen. Materials and Methods. 108 patients (216 eyes) with bilateral drusen of the optic disc aged 18-60 years were examined, and the control group consisted of 28 healthy subjects. All patients underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) using Cirrus HD-OCT 5000-7544 device (Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc.). Results. Three types of ONH drusen localization relative to the Bruch membrane were identifed: superfcial, deep and difuse. Difuse localization of the drusen was determined in 48.6 % of cases, deep - in 40.3 %, superfcial - in 11.1 %. Deep optic disc drusen were more common in a young age (35.5±13.1 years), difuse - in medium age (42.0±13.2 years), superfcial - at an older age (51.7±12.8 years). With superfcial and difuse drusen of the optic disc, a signifcant (p
