The NP group developed subsequent ERM more frequently (p = 0.004), but BCVA gains for eyes requiring repeat PPV for ERM were not found (p = 0.14). Conclusions Although ERM formation and greater anatomical success are reasons to support the use of ILM peeling in RRD, we did not observe any anatomical or functional difference regarding ILM peeling or functional gain with secondary ERM peeling.Purpose To examine the structure of photoreceptors surrounding two subtypes of subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD), namely, dot and ribbon SDD, using multimodal imaging including adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods Twenty-six eyes of 13 patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and SDD and 16 eyes of 8 subjects in normal chorioretinal health were studied. SDD presence, stage, and subtype were determined using color fundus photographs, infrared reflectance, autofluorescence imaging, and SD-OCT. SDD and surrounding photoreceptors were imaged using AOSLO. The structure of cone photoreceptors and SDD was examined at the baseline and at 2-year follow-up studies in 6 patients. Results Dot SDD were identified in 18 eyes of 9 patients and coexisting dot and ribbon SDD were observed in 8 eyes of 4 patients. While a characteristic photoreceptor mosaic was clearly revealed by AOSLO in the area unaffected by lesions in those eyes with dot-only SDD, in unaffected areas adjacent to retinal regions with predominantly ribbon SDD, photoreceptors could no longer be visualized. Conclusion The invisibility of the photoreceptor mosaic in unaffected areas adjacent to retinal regions with predominantly ribbon SDD suggests degeneration in the outer segment and the interdigitation zone, which impairs the waveguiding ability of the photoreceptors. Our study implies possible differentiation of disease outcome and functional impact in different types of SDD.
